Show Notes
Miki as Unsettled global traveller Miki as Chameleon in retreat Miki and band as family What the industry wants, the public gets. Miki angered by press with no vision for female fronted bands For the lack of imagination to talk to a band with interesting corners Britop was a return to the bad of the 70’s with image and marketing dictating TOTP and the flashing neon Siouxsie sign
Lol went off the rails at 22 The Cure should have taken a break Delivering product can destroy a band The Brits love you then hate you, the USA loves you, then loves you again. The Press Conspire! The Cure and Miki in LA for MTV Bands had to fight for the right to be on a UK stage In the USA they were simply loved and welcomed. Lollapalooza! Music in America professional and respectable. Butthole surfers wanted Banshees’ Butter in their trailer Banshees witness others on a traveling circus tour – Mad but Brilliant! Miki says the whole shebang was like a Bon Jovi tour. Miki’s Admirable traits Revealed Festivals - a recipe for disaster Miki felt weird - like endless days in an Amusement Park Nine weeks of touring - Connections went missing ____ Respect: Nina Simone – (1933 – 2003) ____ CONNECT WITH US: Curious Creatures: Website: https://curiouscreaturespodcast.com Facebook: @CuriousCreaturesOfficial Twitter: @curecreatures Instagram: @CuriousCreaturesOfficial
