- 2015 interview with Miki Berenyi of the band 'Lush', from the BBC documentary 'Girl in a Band: Tales from the Rock 'n' Roll Front Line', presented by Kate Mossman. Contains swearing.
First broadcast: BBC Four, 30th October 2015. (No copyright infringement intended.)
Look out for a story about Blur. Also features an appearance by a young Alan Davies (the comedian, not the guitarist).
Oh wow.... she has aged like a goddess! She looks beautiful all these years later
Looking a bit like Diana Rigg too😘😘😘
Miki said she doesn't like being sleazed on, so stop being sleazy
you are the exact type of person she was singing about in ladykillers
He’s just complementing that she’s still beautiful after 20 odd years, not trying to get in her pants, dude.
you need glasses pal
Great interview especially the topic about the shallowness of the British pop industry. In many ways Lush was ahead of its time and certainly a far better band than a lot of the crap that existed during that era.
+Anorax Not to mention a lot of the crap in this era!
+Soterion Coil
Yes. Quite a lot of crap in this era!
Yeah, Lush were way better than Oasis, Blur and Pulp
"I just don't like being sleazed"! great quote
ain't that the truth
She was one of my first crushes, I loved Miki Berenyi
Most of the 90s shoegaze bands like Lush, had sad endings. I am really happy they all reunited. I hope that fans and critical reception would be much more better than whatever they faced in that era.
she looks fantastic
+The Spaceghost Zero (Sebastian Muñoz Borja) She's still got it! :)
+The Spaceghost Zero (Sebastian Muñoz Borja) She sounds fantastic.
Miki is clever, brilliant, funny and lovely to listen to! Love her to bits!! Seen them 3 times back in they day. Next year, I would fly all over the states to see them again and again...
Lollapalooza '92. Charlotte, NC. I called Miki in her hotel room. The whole band was there, and they were DRUNK AF. Spent about an hour talking to them all. Miki was just making fun of me the whole time. It was pretty obvious she had had it up to her eyeballs with guys making passes at her, and she assumed I was just another schmuck trying to get into her pants. I was rather crushed by her attitude, but at the same I kind of understood it. The rest of the band was super cool, though.
Funny story. I was at that show. Lush blew that place up; they were awesome as was the rest of the show. I remember a lot of people leaving right at the Red Hot Chilli peppers played because for at least me it was a letdown. I met the band after a show they did in Atlanta and Miki left the autograph session. Pretty much got the same attitude. I think that coy attitude kind of led to their inability to make a big name in pop music. Fantastic band however.
Really great band! Miki is always modest; I think that both her and Emma had lovely voices. Their harmonies always blended beautifully with the swirling guitar sounds.
Nice to hear that they're back. :)
As usual Miki says it the way it is. Awesome band and i don't use that word often. #1 CD in my car before I even saw this. Extremely pleased that they get along so well and possibility of more from them.
Holy crap, thank you so much, she and Siouxsie were my high school idols.
Fantastic interview. Fell in love with Lush 20 years ago.
+seibervideo Me too! 20 years and in my 20's. Never forgot them.
So classy. Great interview. Never prouder to be a Lush fan.
I don't think they realised how many people they were touching with their amazing music its just so sad that chris had to end his life they had such a platform i feel very sad for them. Lush are a brilliant band ❤️
Thank you for sharing this! Miki still looks great!
Great interview, looking forward to the new music. They've batted 1000 with me so far.
And even beyond Lush, where on Earth are the bands with girls other than just singers these days ? For this sole reason, Lush definitely had to reform to show the world that we're just tired of the old cliches and there's another way to do things. The songs they wrote will never die and they're still ahead of virtually anything that is being released these last 15 years or so. For their new drummer, who used to be in Elastica, it's his first occasion, music wise, yo do something useful out of his life. It was about time.
+julosx Kim Gordon once said that the only thing sexier than a girl with a gun is a girl with a guitar. It would be nice to see current women exploring that & taking it further because it seems unfinished.
+SueTube I fully agree. We need more girls with guitars. They used to be quite a few (not that much actually) back in the 80s and the 90s and we need more of them now. At least more that are really as able and willing as Miki, Emma or Kristin Hersh are.
+julosx well,excuse me but i think some of Elastica's songs including-- "Stutter "are really good, sounds better as it ages...like Lush.
+St.Fiacre Elastica's last record came out in 2001, though. I don't think that Justine Frischmann is still in music. In an interview last a little while ago Damon Albarn, whom she used to date in the 90s, said she now lives in California & married a professor. Donna is a pastor in Devon.
+julosx Straight up man! It was Lush who cracked open the doorway for me to discover other bands like Throwing Muses and Belly!
Can't wait to see Lush live next year !
Saw them on the tour with Jane's Addiction and fell in love! So excited to see them back again.
I love Lush. I saw them in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse while in college.
'Split' might actually be the best album from the Britpop era outside of Radiohead's stuff. I know there's a lot of competition, but honestly that album is absolutely superb.
I am so relieved to hear that Lush is back!
I love the creativity and cleverness of lush...very musical ... Desire lines... Such intensity... Females often write guitar solo's with more melody and less finger gymnastics!.... I'll travel to see them....they likely won't come to New Zealand!!!
Where's the rest of this interview? I would love to see it! I didn't realize that they had re-united. I'm so happy to hear this, although my comment comes 5 years later. Hope they are still together, and would love to hear them. I just absolutely loved them. I'm happy that I found this. Thank you.
hermosa como hace veinte años
So down to Earth. Love Miki and Lush. Can't wait to see them in Portland on Tuesday!!
awesome interview! it's so cool to see lush making a comeback.
Welcome back!
Like how shes talking about it from a "adult"perspective.than a outsider one.
Roxy show!!! Can't wait.
+coffycup75 9:30 Club D.C. can't wait as well : )
+roneugenius Yaaay have a great time!!
Happy Birthday Miki! You're 49!
Miki eternally Beautiful! I Love!
fun interview. open and honest
2:47 A young (very Cockney) Alan Davis tried to chat up Miki at a gig and the number she gave him turned out to be a pizza delivery - maybe she was fattening him up?
she inspired me to build a band with my friends :')
I do hope she colours her hair for the reunion🙏🙏🙏 wtf wouldn't you eh Miki?
+John Erkman
I miss the red hair as well, but Miki Berenyi's attitude and ability are not contingent on her hair.
She’s a real girl! Wonderful lassie : )
Emma and Miki are brilliant lyricists.
“When we’re out in polythene, what’s that supposed to mean?”
And brillant composers as well, especially Emma in my opinion
I totally agree about the Britpop thing. I liked Suede, Lush and Pulp, but the rest of it just rubbed me the wrong way. I hated all that Laddism crap. Had enough of that shit with Grunge. 1995-1997 wasn't a good era for music, besides "Lovelife", "Different Class" and "Coming Up". - Jules
she's actually such a cool person, i never knew, she's like people i know, self effacing as well as realistic and perceptively intelligent.. plus she sums up that moment when britpop took off, it did screw up a beautiful time, now evident with those bands being so precious.. got tickets for the 2016 roundhouse Friday gig, can't wait...
+mac abre (MathewHopkins) think you meant 'self-effacing'. self-defacing would not be pretty :)
+SniffyPoo thank you, edit made, - you are quite correct, I was probably rushing to deliver my first impression and phonetically my association messed up. linguists would love to dissect a new dyslexic condition.
I think Blur's Boys and Girls was meant to be ironic
+Haki Mann Yup, pretty sure the song was. Not sure some of the very well documented behaviour of the band was, though.
James McLuckie *sips tea*
I'm guessing I'll always have a thing for Miki.
She's got mystical arms like a bird's wings
Amazing
Cool - She's cool!
Good lord. Miki!
I suspect she refused to talk about Chris.
Whole new perspective on Lady Killer now. LOL. I thought it was just about some random guy she had to deal with, but it's about the singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
It's not only about him, a verse it is
Class act.
Nice lady,sweet...
tululuuuuu tululuuuuuu tululuuuuuluuuuuuuuuu.....
OMG where has the red hairs gone?
+carlo mascheroni Is it me or she looks like Emma these days ?
+julosx a wig can make the difference, girls!
She'll get it back I'm certain!
lush is far superior to the chili peppers
miki-chan kawaiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
3:58 "My arse"!....LOL.
I like Miki, but she is so condescending about everything and everyone!
Apparently everyone else is stupid!
Not what I'm hearing.
Really?
@@JohnSmith-su3ze Maybe that's what comes of having thousands of guys wanting to get into her pants and not accepting no for an answer. Eventually, when so many interactions turn out to be negative, a negative attitude can develop. Just one of the reasons why women in popular music are underrepresented, whereas classical music is very different. There's just not that many drooling knuckle draggers into classical music.
@UCDEgfjwDrq-XVsI9hU6U-gw "Just one of the reasons why women in popular music are underrepresented"
How on earth are women underrepresented in popular music?
@@deaddoll1361 You and Miki think she's the only woman in the world that's ever been popular with the opposite sex.
Admit it, she's a bit full of herself
I'll always be a fan but damn....some major daddy issues she never resolved. Projection and transference has really robbed her of a lot of joy apparantly. Looking for acceptance she never got and craving attention she acts like she doesn't need. Poor thing.
