Miki Interview w/ Dave Kendall



Less Ride, More Miki! (nothing personal Mark)...

This vid is really a Ride segment, with Miki hanging in the background. Unfortunately there is no 2nd part provided to this interview, this time with Miki :/

Dave Kendall hosted '120 Minutes' on MTV back before it was turned into another promotional tool of the major record labels, loosely disguised as alternative music. Rumor was that Kendall left when the format was changed.

Final TV Appearance - San Francisco - Sep 8, 1996

Today's my birthday. Being a Lush fan, I can't help but think of this September 8 gig, the band's final televised appearance, which recently has been uploaded to YouTube by Bill of Lush Remembered....

This is Lush's very last TV appearance, with a brief interview and a performance of Ladykillers and 500 (Shake Baby Shake). It was recorded the day after their show at the Fillmore.

Great site? This is an absolute treasure horde of over a dozen very rare live recordings and video (whole sets!) spanning 1988-1996 posted by Kevin of The Sound of Indie... Thanks Kevin! One recording is thought to be from Lush's second show ever, with Meriel Barham at lead vocals. The recording quality is very listenable, all in all, this trove is just about too good to be true. It's like Christmas in July...

Miki & the Seinking Ships Album is Out!

Miki fans have something to smile about today!

After 15 years Miki is back singing lead vocals with the long promised debut of the Seinking Ships album 'Museum Quality Capture.' Three songs, You Didn't Love Me, We Will Drink Wine, and Digging His Own Hole are the only ones on the album with lyrics. American band Seinking Ships is made up of Eric Matthews and Christopher Seink who are primarally instrumentalists. Being a Lush admirer, Seink put out the call hoping that Miki would answer, and indeed she did! Up until then the recordings were strictly instrumental, so Matthews penned the lyrics with Miki in mind. Miki then recorded the vocals in London. The album is now available on S-Curve Records.

You can also preview and order the CD at Amazon . One track with Miki is available as a free download: http://bit.ly/9Cr6YI

What an excellent job she did, too ;) Miki has expressed that her voice is not what it used to be, but her singing talents sound just as brilliant to me now as though it were 15 years ago.

Thanks Miki for taking some time from your family (I can definitely relate!) to plunge back into the hectic recording business, and wish you continued happiness...
