The Creatures Biography

The Creatures first surfaced in 1981 as a side project of Siouxsie and the Banshees' frontwoman Siouxsie Sioux and the band's drummer, Budgie; after debuting with the EP Wild Things, they returned two years later with the full-length Feast. With their work in the Banshees remaining the duo's top priority, however, they did not assume the Creatures guise again before issuing the album Boomerang in late 1989; after the Banshees dissolved in the wake of 1995's The Rapture, Sioux and Budgie (who had since married) announced the Creatures would now be their primary creative vehicle, issuing the EP Eraser Cut in 1998. The full-length Anima Animus followed the next year, as did the remix collection Hybrids. In 2000 the band released Us Retrace, a collection of previously unreleased tracks from the time of the Anima Animus sessions. They returned in 2003 with the emphatically titled new album Hái!, the Japanese word for ‘Yes!’ - Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
