A note from Miki when she recorded the vocals,
back in the summer of 2012:
Just wanted to let you know that I did
a vocal on a rather unlikely recording the other day. One of
the last things Chris played drums on was Hard Skin - a punk
band. They've just done a record and have a 'female' version
with women singing, and I'm one of them. It was very
hilarious - and I had a very good time singing it, but it's
about as far away from Lush as you could possibly get (sort
of) and has a hell of a lot of swearing on it!

Miki, Emma and Phil
meet at 4AD's offices to discuss Lush reissues! Nothing is
official or certain at all, and its unknown if this will be the
"box set" that has been talked about for years, but it does
sound very likely that something will happen. And just the idea
of Miki, Emma and Phil all getting together for a meeting at 4AD
is very exciting! |

Major Event:
Sadly, Emma and Lisa announce that after 10 years of Sing-Sing
they have decided to "call it a day." It seems their
personal situations (parenthood, geography, careers, etc) make
it difficult to keep Sing-Sing going. However they added this
hopeful note: "Emma has some plans regarding her next
move.....2008 might have something very exciting in store."
The full announcement is available
here. |
