Miki Sings Backup with the Jesus & Mary Chain 05/07/2015

Miki singing background vocals for "Just Like Honey" with The Jesus and Mary Chain on July 5, 2015. So good to see and hear her performing again!

A Phil Phest

With it being his birthday (so what if it has been a few days ago!), its a fitting time to share a bit of a bonus centered on Phil. The male half of Lush had to take a distant backseat to Miki and Emma, though for Phil it seemed a comfortable role for him more or less.

If one just digs around, there's quite a bit of Phil to be had available on the web. So let us kick off a mini phun-philled Phil Phest!


Select Youtube Videos featuring Phil King, Past and almost Present :

• Primal Scream - Gentle Tuesday (playing drums)
• Felt - Primitive Painters
• Apple Boutique - Love resistance (Phil's own band, pre-Lush)
• J&MC - Happy When It Rains (August 2007 tour)
  

The Lush/J&MC Connection

Miki and Emma onstage for a bit of impromtu backing vocals for the Jesus and Mary Chain during their Lollapalooza '92 tour together.

Really wish someone had video to share of this performance!!









Some 15 odd years later, the Jesus and Mary Chain pulled back together for a world tour in 2007, this time with former-Lush Phil as their permanent bassist. Phil was first courted to join the band in 1998, returned for the 2007 tour and continues to play with them to the present.

It's a small world, indeed.

Phil on Tour with the J&MC

Phil's current band, live at Oyafestivalen, Oslo, 10th August 2007.
This is doubley nostaligic for me since I listened to a very young Mary Chain all so many years ago... and it's good to see Phil playing again!
