Mr Keng brought home some remastered CDs by British punk/post-punk group Siouxise and the Banshees. Listening to it over dinner I was struck by the fact that it sounded fascinating and had some depth. During our conversation Mr. Keng remarked that Siouxsie, born Susan Ballion, was another singer with a casual attitude to (semi) nudity. Coming off the back of previous posts regarding Madonna and (earlier today) John Lennon, Mr. Keng suggested that perhaps the act of going naked, pushing boundaries, was wrapped up in an artist’s personality that saw them take chances with their melody and end up being interesting and challenging. (He’s said he shall insert flesh on the bones of this argument by bedtime đ )
Not knowing much about Siouxsie, I did a little googling and found that, yes indeed, she has been fairly relaxed about semi nudity throughout her career, baring her breasts in an ever so slightly provocative way without it being ‘a thing’ in the way that Madonna, for example, makes it appear all so calculated and ‘career enhancing’.
The message I take away from these photographs is that there was just a petty femini
Punk icon, Gaye Jet (a.k.a. Gaye Advert) talks to Punktuation! about the Sid glassing incident, how the Stranglers gave her her stage name and how today art is her life!
She was there at the Sex Pistolsâ?Screen on the Green gig?which also saw the first Clash gig. Was a regular at the?Stranglersâ 1976 residency at the Nashville Arms?in Hammersmith and has the badge to verify it! And was at both nights of the beyond-legendary?100 Club Punk Rock Festival in 1976, where on 21 September while the Damned were playing, Sid Vicious was caught up in the infamous glassing incident. (He threw a beer glass and it blinded a young chick in one eye.).
Gaye Blackâs punk experiences are second-to-none. If only she could remember half of these amazing events!
âThe other day I was asked in an interview if I went to both nights of the 100 Club festival and I had to own up I couldnât remember,â she laughs.
âSo I called a friend who said yes I was. I didnât know you then but you were definitely there. We didnât have cameras or social media to record everything back then, so Iâm still piecing together some memories from those astounding days.â
Born Gay
Gaye Advert and the Great Cock ‘n’ Balls Swindle
âSexuality in Rock’n’roll is one more area weighed down heavily by its history and language. While none could or should deny the aspects of sexual interest and thrill integral in live music, the production space is problematically male-dominated.â â Ian Penman, NME, 1979
âI really wish that I’d been born a boy; it’s easy then âcause you don’t have to keep trying to be one all the time.â â Gaye Advert, 1977
Women in bands, when under the media spotlight, often find themselves swindled out of due credit by virtue of their gender. If theyâre not being accused of clinging to the coattails of their backing boys to disguise their possess lack of musical ability, theyâre being judged on their aesthetic appeal to the exclusion of anything more relevant. Itâs disappointing to observe how ubiquitously this principle applies. Even in the midst of punk, as girls picked up guitars, bass, and drumsticks, taking the stage alongside boys as more than cooing vocalists or backing dancers, they attracted that lethal combination of critical suspicion and prurient interest.
