Woops, just read above that the red hair’s gone. Oh well. BTW, no, she didn’t duet with Ian on “Love Removal Machine” in LA!

I live in LA and I was actually there at that ‘96 show when Miki sang “Ciao!” with Ian Astbury at the El Rey. That was a great show, I was right up front and I remember Miki just smiling, enthralled, during the instrumental part of “Desire Lines”. Chris would be dead just 6 weeks later, and it was such a sad, sad thing.

I also saw them in LA in summer ‘94 at this place called Luna Park (since changed names) and it was the hottest – physically – show I’d ever been to. The A/C was out and everybody was sweating and miserable, but the band was great, and I recall the stage being so low that I quite literally could have reached out my hand and plucked Phil’s bass strings.

Thanks for tracking Miki down and thanks to Miki for sharing her memories and photos! She’s really been one of the rock world’s great “Whatever happened to…”s, so it’s great to see her resurface. And I also wonder if she still has the red hair.

Brilliant!!! Really enjoyed this. Have been digging out the old indie recentlty and have always wondered what happened to Miki she seemed to just disappear. Thanks to you for putting this together & to Miki for takin the time out to help with it
I have one question though. Does she still have the trademark red hair?

Great Interview and photo walk-through.
Glad to hear Miki is well, but sad she doesn’t have the time to create.
I can understand, I haven’t played out or recorded since the birth of my son 19 months ago.

Miki come back! Your voice really is from outer space, or-from deep inside…What´s the trouble about being 40?
I am 43 and still able to hold an electric guitar, let´s form a band…äh, nice joke, you say? But at least I hope you´re well….

Awesome collection of pics, it’s great that Miki is willing to relive and share some of her memories.

Not to nitpick but the “Weenie Roast” was (and still is) a KROQ (LA radio alt. rock trailblazer) event. Kennedy used to work at KROQ, pre-MTV, so she probably went back to do some interviews and stuff for MTV News.

These artcles / interviews are fantastic – well done. It’s been so long since I’ve listened to Sweetness & Light!

I remember meeting Chris on the tube once and within 5 seconds he was sharing chips and within 10 seconds we we organising getting beer in the following weekend. That was it – he would always get me in to see Lush on the various UK tours and was such a friendly chap. I’ll always miss him – just a decent funny guy.

Good luck to Miki, Emma & Phil – about time that DVD came out, mmm?

Recollecting a vague memory of seeing that amazing red hair on tv coupled with the stunning tunes Ladykillers and 500 when I was 13 in 1996 led me to buy some Lush records online last year. Always knew you were the coolest band on the planet but due to my shyness back then I never really went out to shops and bought records. Lush is probably my favourite band right now so I’m elated that Miki has decided to come back and give interviews at around the same time!!!
