the creatures

After six years, four big city studio albums; 'Hyaena', 'Tinderbox', 'Through the Looking Glass', 'Peepshow' and all the hullaballoo of the Peepshow Road show, Siouxsie & Budgie set off on a long drive through the old castle lands of Spain, looking for that other world once more.



The Creatures surfaced again in May 1989, on a bull ranch, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. We set up a mobile studio beneath the vaulted ceiling of the old winery, and allowed the rarefied air of Andalusia to infuse our senses. The release of 'Boomerang' prompted our live debut on TV using guest musicians to reach the parts that we couldn't, but, using sampling & sequencing technology and two huge drum kits, we did our first live shows as a duo playing Europe & the USA in 1990.
