Episode 69: Video Thunderdome: Siouxsie and the Banshees vs Adam and the Ants
2022-01-28
In this free sample of a genXtemporaneous after dark episode, Marc and Kristina do a mishmash of VH1's Pop up Video style trivia with an in depth discussion of Post Punk pioneers Siouxsie and the Banshees (Spellbound) and Adam Ant (Kings of the Wild Frontier). We also discuss The Cure (Let's go to Bed) and Bow Wow Wow (I Want Candy). You may not be aware of the connections between the four bands and their history as fans of punk turned punk and how they turned the corner into the Post Punk, MTV era. Going forward you will find the Video Thunderdome series exclusively on our Patreon (genXtemporaneous after dark -- which will be up and running on 2/1/2022, along with other special content for subscribers. This podcast will remain ad free each week and we are grateful for your listen -- whether it is here or on Patreon.
