A static Siouxsie
SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES “Peepshow” (Polygram 837-240-1). With “Peepshow,” Siouxsie and The Banshees celebrate their twelfth year in the usual strident manner — how one band can remain so utterly static for so long is beyond me. Siouxsie remains pre-
occupied with childhood nightmares and seamy fantasies, while the band strive to perfect the same taut Goth rock that haunts most of their LPs. Admittedly, they are still a good singles band, with both “Killing Jar” and the playful “Peek-a-Boo” up to the standards of their earlier 455, but
you have to go back to “A Kiss in the Dreamhouse” to find a consistently good album. Their incredible popularity in the United Kingdom should keep them in business for a while yet without them coming up with something new. This LP is strictly for the converted. TONY GREEN.
