Telling the story of Dear Prudence, the Beatles cover by Siouxsie Sioux and her Banshees, is to recount the tidal wave of punk in British culture—a force that swept away the sixties and opened the door to the post-punk and new wave of the eighties.
Siouxsie and the Banshees may well be one of the bands that best embodies this turning point. Siouxsie delivers a fully embraced, postmodern reinterpretation of one of the Fab Four’s most beautiful songs, positioned somewhere between the Sex Pistols and what came to be known as “gothic” or cold wave music.
Philippe de Guilhermier understood this well—and above all experienced it firsthand—bearing witness to the importance of Siouxsie Sioux’s band.
