lene lovich vs siouxsie sioux

lene lovich - bird song


In the late seventies Lene Lovich was actually pretty big. I loved her first album but this single - Bird Song - is from her second album Flex which was released in 1979. I'm not really sure when this video was released - if it's from 1979 it's absolutely fabulous. If it's from the early eighties then it's just brilliant. She looks and sounds fantastic anyway!

(Seems like the video is from 1980 so it's pretty damn awesome compared to most of the videos from that time.)

the creatures - right now


The Creatures was a side project for Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie. If you were a part of the late punk and early goth movement you know the impact Siouxsie had. There must have been at least 5 Siouxsie wannabes/look-alikes in Falun where I spent my teens and that's a lot considering how few goths there were in Falun back then. Right Now is their first single and it was released in 1983. I love this song. It was such a great contrast to the kind of music that the Siouxsie & the Banshees made at the time. It's kind of related to The Cures The Lovecats which also was released in 1983. Happy songs made by goth royalties.
