Siouxsie & The Banshees was a British rock band formed in 1976, known for their pioneering role in the post-punk and gothic rock scenes. The band was fronted by Siouxsie Sioux, a charismatic performer with a dramatic vocal style, and drummer Budgie, both of whom also formed the side-project The Creatures. Their music was characterized by its innovative use of guitar and synthesizers, creating a dark and atmospheric sound. Key works such as the albums "Juju" and "Kaleidoscope" have had a significant influence on a wide range of musicians, including The Cure and Radiohead.
