YUH 127 - "Join Hands" by Siouxsie and the Banshees with Herman De Tollenaere!

Once upon a time there was a collection of London ne'er do wells called "The Bromley Contingent". Among this collection of dropouts and punks were the likes of Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severin and Billy Idol. They took their cues from a small band of talentless arnarchists known to the Queen as unruly peasants. When Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious and Steve Jones confronted Her Majesty's rules with a bit of harsh reality on the River Thames during her annual jubilee, their Sex Pistol banner started unfurling across the world. Today's episode is our first Aaron's Audio Edibles, and it is about the second album of Pistol disciple Siouxsie and her platonic Banshees, an album that combines themes of war with social commentary in a confrontational treatise that this Siouxie fan had largely neglected in the past. Joining us is one of Siouxsie's biggest fans, Herman De Tollenaere. As editor of the fanzine PIN, Herman twice got to interview Siouxsie during her visits to the Netherlands right around the time "Join Hands" was unleashed on the world. With his own band Cheap 'N Nasty, which he willfully admits could not have happened without the Queen of Goth's influence, Herman knows the subject of this program better than most. He helps us review one of the most important early albums in the history of punk rock, Join Hands by Siouxsie and the Banshees! #YeahUhHuh #SiouxsieSioux #SiouxsieAndThe Banshees #Podcast #PunkRock #TheCure #SexPistols #MalcolmMcLaren #JoinHands Join Hands Track list Poppy Day Regal Zone Placebo Effect Icon Lyrics Premature Burial Playground Twist Mother/Oh Mein Papa The Lord's Prayer YUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3 https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobriety-Blues-David-Mojo3/dp/B091N8BJNB Join Hands by Siouxsie and the Banshees on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/4FnKGH6piIJse7MUiYtQfj?si=tJXCXncmRKmboOfSo8B4PA Herman's Interview with Siouxsie and the Banshees in 1981 for PIN Magazine https://www.bacteria.nl/pin-4-english-edition/ Herman's Punktuation Magazine Review of Siouxsie's 2023 show in the Netherlands https://www.punktuationmag.com/gig-review-siouxsie-sioux-triumphs-in-amsterdam/ Official Website for Cheap N Nasty (Herman's band) https://cheapnnastyband410118468.wordpress.com Rock snd Roll Heaven on Facebook (Thea is the admin): ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RockandrollLT?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠ Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff: Yeah Uh Huh on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Facebook https://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Twitter https://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPod Yeah Uh Huh on Spotify   https://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aa Yeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcasts   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611 Yeah Uh Huh Website:  https://www.podpage.com/yeah-uh-huh/
