The Creatures
The Creatures was a musical act formed in 1981 by Siouxsie and the Banshees members Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie. With the dissolution of Siouxsie and the Banshees in 1996, The Creatures graduated from an occasional parenthesis to a full-time concern. The drum and voice duo released four studio albums: Feast in 1983, Boomerang in 1989, Anima Animus in 1999 and Hái! in 2003.
With Feast, the band stepped in exotica. On Boomerang, they added a Spanish-tinged vibe to their music, with elements of flamenco, blues and jazz. In the late 1990s, they developed a more urban sound: The Times then described their music as "adventurous art rock built around Siouxsie's extraordinary voice and drummer Budgie's battery of percussion". In their last work, they returned to the roots while heading east, with an ode to the Japanese minimalism. They disbanded in 2005.
Their music was hailed by Jeff Buckley and PJ Harvey.
Wild Things era (1981)
Singer Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie created The Creatures while recording the Banshees' Juju album. During one session, they discovered by accident that the association of just the voice and the drums suited to the track "But Not Them". A studio session was organized with the aim of recording five songs. This project was released in the form of an EP titled Wild Things. The title track was a reworking of a hit by The Troggs and the other numbers were Creatures compositions. The EP reached number 24 in the UK Singles chart and the pair performed "Mad-Eyed Screamer" on Top of the Pops.
The Creatures (Australian band)
The Creatures were a garage rock band which formed in Mildura, Australia in 1965 as The Beagle Boys. They changed their name in February 1966 and relocated to Sydney where they were active during the mid- to late 1960s. The line-up included three Marcic brothers: Eric on guitar, Herman on bass guitar, and Rudolph on drums; together with Keith Matcham on lead vocals and Michael Parnis on rhythm guitar.
Australian music journalist, Glenn A. Baker, described their appearance: "at a time when moderate long hair was becoming acceptable, [they] dyed their tatty locks to bilious pastel shades and invited the media to react with appropriate horror". The group were billed as "the wildest, longest, coloured hair group in Australia, and 'Australia's answer to the Rolling Stones'". Richard White had replaced Parnis before the first single, "All I Do Is Cry" (1966), appeared. Hair colours were: red for Eric, blue for Herman, green for Rudolph, purple for Matcham, and pink for White.

Prettiest Thing (Howie B Hormonal Mix)
by: The CreaturesI am gone - I am sold
Can I take her home while I am sleeping
I put it on - fits so well
Dead fish floating up to the ceiling
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in
I put it on - it fits my soul
You know she spoke these words
While she was sleeping
Razor's edge... sliding in
Razor's edge...
Wanna feel my fingers dipping in
Dip in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence coming in
Dip in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Never say never, do it again
Dip in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing... I'm coming in
