Today we celebrate the birthday of Siouxsie Sioux, lead singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Formed in 1976 by Siouxsie and bass player Steven Severin, the band made a name for itself during the first wave of Post-Punk, developing adventurous, unusual sound structures and a look that helped pave the way for Goth culture. Bands ranging from The Smiths to The Weeknd have appreciated and been influenced by the group, and Siouxsie has been cited by Allmusic as “"one of the most influential British singers of the rock era."
