In 2004, she started a solo career.
==Biography==
=== Teenage wildlife ===
She was the youngest of three children, born at [[Guy's Hospital]] in [[South London]]. She attended Mottingham Secondary Modern School for Girls in [[Kent]]. Her mother was a [[bilingual]] secretary, her father a laboratory technician who milked serum from poisonous snakes.
When Sioux was 14, her father died from complications of [[alcoholism]]. At age 15, she suffered [[ulcerative colitis]], an experience she described later as "surreal": "it completely de-romanticised the body for me."
While growing up, Sioux was often left to look after herself in an undisciplined atmosphere. Before his death, her father's alcoholism kept him incapacitated, forcing her mother to work full time. The garden at their home north of [[Petts Wood]] grew into a jungle, with high hedges and rambling roses, until the neighbours complained.
During her teens, she was a self-confessed loner, was into the music of [[David Bowie]], [[Lou Reed]], [[T. Rex (band)|T. Rex]] and [[The Stooges]], and she started visiting the local [[gay]] [[disco]]s. She became very-well known in the [[London]] punk scene for her [[glam]], [[Fetish clothes|fetish]] and [[bondage (BDSM)|bondage]] attire, which became staples of punk fashion.
In the mid-1970s, journalist Caroline Coon created the [[Bromley Contingent]] term to talk about a group of eccentric teenagers devoted to the [[Sex Pistols]]. Siouxsie was a member of the Contingent, along with fellow Banshees founder [[Steven Severin]].
Sioux's first gig was with her group Siouxsie and the Banshees, as an unrehearsed fill-in at the [[100 Club Punk Festival]] - two nights in September 1976 - organised by [[Malcolm McLaren]]. The group didn't know or play any songs; they improvised as Sioux recited poems and prayers she had memorized.
The same month, the [[Bromley Contingent]] followed the Sex Pistols to [[France]], where Sioux was punched by someone for wearing a cupless bra, black vinyl stockings and a black armband with a [[swastika]] on it. This was used to shock the audience, not as a political statement.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/dp/1860743757 Mark Paytress 'the Siouxsie & The Banshees official biography', Sanctuary 2003, page 32]</ref> To stop controversy, she later wrote the songs "[[Mittageisen|Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)]]" (to the memory of the anti-[[Nazi]] artist [[John Heartfield]]) and the single "[[Israel (song)|Israel]]".
One of Sioux's first public appearances was with the Sex Pistols on [[Bill Grundy]]'s television show in December 1976. In the course of Grundy's interview with the members of the Sex Pistols, the presenter tried to flirt with her. In reaction, Pistols guitarist [[Steve Jones (musician)|Steve Jones]] called him a "dirty fucking bastard", which created a media furor that had a major impact on the Pistols' subsequent career.
===The Siouxsie & the Banshees years===
In 1976 Siouxsie formed the band [[Siouxsie and the Banshees]] with her friend [[Steven Severin]] on [[bass guitar]].
Two years later, they released their first single, "[[Hong Kong Garden]]", which instantaneously reached the top 10 in the UK. Their first album, 1978's ''[[The Scream (album)|The Scream]]'', was described by [[Nick Kent]] in the ''[[New Musical Express|NME]]'' in the following terms <ref>[http://www.untiedundone.com/bansheed.html N.M.E. 26/08/1978 Nick Kent article published for the release of "The Scream"]</ref>: "The band sounds like some unique hybrid of the [[Velvet Underground]] mated with much of the ingenuity of ''[[Tago Mago]]''-era [[Can (band)|Can]], if any parallel can be drawn." At the end of the article, he added this remark: "Certainly, the traditional three-piece sound has never been used in a more unorthodox fashion with such stunning results."
Further key albums ''[[Kaleidoscope (Siouxsie album)|Kaleidoscope]]'' and ''[[Juju (Siouxsie & the Banshees album)|Juju]]'' included the hit singles "Happy House" and "Spellbound".
In 1981, Sioux formed the group [[The Creatures]] with Banshees drummer Budgie, to record music more based on percussion.
In 1982, the British press greeted the Siouxsie and the Banshees album ''[[A Kiss in the Dreamhouse]]'' enthusiastically. Richard Cook in the ''[[NME]]'' finished his review <ref>[http://thebansheesandothercreatures.co.uk/akissinthedreamhousereviews.htm 06/11/82 dithyrambic reviews of ''A Kiss In the Dreamhouse'' published in the ''NME'' and the ''Melody Maker'']</ref> with "I promise. This music will take your breath away."
In 1996, after recording a series of 11 successful studio albums, Siouxsie and the Banshees announced their split during a press conference called "20 minutes for 20 years".
===Solo career===
In the middle of the 1990s, Sioux started to make one-off collaborations with other artists.
[[Morrissey]] recorded a duet with her in 1994: they both sang on the single "[[Interlude (Morrissey and Siouxsie song)|Interlude]]", a track that was initially performed by Timi Yuro, a female torch singer of the 1960s.
In 1995, she released the song "The Lighthouse" on the [[French people|French]] producer [[Hector Zazou]]'s album ''[[Chansons des mers froides]]'' (''Songs from the Cold Seas''). Sioux and Zazou adapted an excerpt of the poem "Flannan Isle" by English poet [[Wilfred Wilson Gibson]] into lyrics. The song included the incantations of a female [[Nanai]] [[shaman]] recorded in [[Siberia]], and musical performers included Budgie and [[Mark Isham]].
In 2003, Sioux was asked to compose and sing the title track to [[Basement Jaxx|Basement Jaxx's]] album ''[[Kish Kash]]''. One year later, she toured for the first time as a solo act combining Banshees and Creatures songs : a live [[DVD]] called ''[[Dreamshow]]'' captured the last London concert of [[September 2004]] performed with the Millennia Ensemble. Released in [[August 2005]], this [[DVD]] reached the number one position in the UK music DVD charts. Due to that success, Universal signed her on the W14 label.
Her first solo album ''[[MantaRay]]'' was released on [[September 10]], [[2007]] in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], preceded by the "[[Into a Swan]]" single released on [[September 3]]. ''MantaRay'' was released in the [[United States|U.S.]] on October 2. The album has gained critical acclaim. The influential site [[Pitchfork Media]] wrote "She really ''is'' pop" before finishing the review by "It's a success".<ref>[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/45327-mantaray Pitchforkmedia Mantaray review]</ref>
Sioux performed the song "Careless Love" with the composer [[Angelo Badalamenti]] for ''[[The Edge Of Love (film soundtrack)|The Edge Of Love]]'' film soundtrack. The record was released in [[June 2008]].
She is scheduled for various festivals in summer 2008: the [[Wireless Festival]] in London on [[July 4]] (the same day as [[Morrissey]]), "Meta Rock" in [[Pise]], "RockWave" in [[Athens]], "Les Ardentes" in [[Liège]], "Saturday Night Fiber" in [[Madrid]] on July 19,<ref>[http://fiberfib.com/en/news/benicassim-day-in-madrid-saturday-night-fiber/ Madrid day line-up 2008]</ref> [[Festival Internacional de Benicàssim|Benicàssim]] on July 20,<ref>[http://www.fiberfib.com/ Benicassim fib site festival 2008]</ref> "HeatWave Festival" in [[Tel Aviv]] and "Lokerse Festival" in [[Lokeren]] (Belgium) on August 6. She will also be on tour in [[Ireland]] and [[Italy]] for the first time in nine years.

==Musical genre==
[[Shirley Manson]] of [[Garbage]] declared how she considered the band musically.
{{cquote|(In 1981), the press began to describe them as a [[goth]] band. I never thought of them as goth. Goth has never been particularly angry, just a little dismayed. It had a weak, submissive side to it. Siouxsie & The Banshees always had a real edge to what they did. There was so much articulated spite, humour, politics with a small 'p' there that I never felt they went down that simple, gloomy path. People try to pass them off as a goth band because they find them dangerous and don't understand them. Today, I can see and hear the Banshees' influence all over the place.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/dp/1860743757 Mark Paytress, foreword by (the singer) Shirley Manson 'the Siouxsie & The Banshees official biography', Sanctuary 2003, page 9]</ref>}}

==Personal events ==
Sioux married [[Budgie (drummer)|Budgie]] in 1991. The following year, ostensibly "fed up with fans staring through the windows of their basement flat" in west [[London]], she and Budgie moved to [[France]]. They lived in a converted farmhouse in a small village in south west France, where they had "a garden, cats and mountains of books."
In June 2005, she won the Icon Award at the [[Mojo]] Honours in London.
In 2007, she appeared in advertising materials for a line of false lashes from cosmetics company, Shu Uemura<!-- there's no page for tha name. so the [[]] of [[Shu Uemura]] are removed -->. She recently announced on [[BBC Radio 2]]'s ''The Weekender'' that she and Budgie are not musical partners anymore. In an interview with ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' in [[August 2007]], she clarified that they had [[divorce]]d.<ref>[http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article2309979.ece?Submitted=true The Sunday Times, 26 August 2007]</ref>
In an interview with ''[[The Independent]]'', she said, "I've never particularly said I'm [[heterosexual|hetero]] or I'm a [[lesbian]]. I know there are people who are definitely one way, but not really me. I suppose if I am attracted to men then they usually have more feminine qualities."<ref>Eyre, Hermione (September 1, 2007), the punk icon, ''The Independent''.
