Surprise Cast #274 Jon Klein (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Specimen)

Hello Jon, Pleasure sitting down with you for a good chat on Surprise Cast. I loved hearing about your journey from a unique Mormon childhood in England. Fascinating. Thank you for talking about your time with post-punk band, Siouxsie and the Banshees. I LOVED the tales on how you joined the band, studio and touring memories. Thank you for taking my ears behind the scenes of songs such as "Peekaboo" and more. How amazing that you got to collaborate with Stephen Hague and John Cale. Discussing your collaboration with Sinead O' Connor and long time friendship with Jah Wobble was absolutely a treat to hear. I appreciate the deep dive you went into regarding the making of the 'Automatic Paradise' album. It was cool to learn about the lo-fi spontaneity and organized structures that helped shape some fabulous tunes. You two created an incredible atmosphere. Thank you for the ear opening stories and thoughtful reflections. Keep chasing after the rich sound and creative collaborations. You're quite good at it.  Follow Jon Klein:  https://www.instagram.com/iamjonklein/ Follow Jah Wobble:  https://jahwobble.com/ Follow Siouxsie and the Banshees: https://linktr.ee/siouxsieandthebanshees Follow Shameless Promotions: https://shamelesspromotionpr.com/ Photo courtesy of @petermcdonnellphotography   Follow Surprise Cast: Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, and X
