1) The Creatures were an eclectic musical act formed in 1981 as a side-project for Siouxsie and the Banshees members Siouxsie and Budgie. With the dissolution of Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1996, The Creatures graduated from an occasional side project to a full-time concern. They disbanded in 2005.
Their music was hailed by Jeff Buckley and PJ Harvey.
Biography
Wild Things era (1981)
The singer Siouxsie and the drummer Budgie had the idea to create the Creatures while recording the Banshees’ Juju album. During one session, they discovered by accident that the association of just the voice and the drums suited to the track
But Not Them. A recording session was organized in the aim to record five songs. This musical project was released under the form of a EP titled Wild Things. Musically, it introduced a much more primitive and drum-driven Banshee sound.
Feast era (1983)
In 1983, between the release of the Banshees albums A Kiss in the Dreamhouse and their live album Nocturne, The Creatures recorded and released their first full length album Feast. The week of its release, the band was on the front cover of the NME and the Melody Maker. It was both a critical and commercial success, reaching number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. To conceive it, the band decided to determine where to record the album by randomly placing a pin on a map of the world.
