[kj] Siouxsie comeback London gigs

[Jim Harper]

I'm not much of an SATB fan, but I do love John McGeoch's guitar work where it is. 'Spellbound' is magnificent. Siouxsie and co (and the guy from Radiohed) seem to be one of the few who actually rate McGeoch's work. Most people just criticize him for not being Keith Levene.

Johns guitar work was way under rated. In the siouxsie tribute band I play in, learning sone of his material from tinderbox has been way more difficult than imagined. I wonder what he's up to now.

>>Trivial footnote: Knox Chandler played in band with Big Paul Ferguson dubbed Crush. On vox was a guy named Fred Schreck who used to sing for a gothy band called The Ancients. On bass was this dude named, I think, John Miccio, who now lives next door to some friends of ours (fellow parents at my kids' school). Small world.
