She fronted Lush, who stood out from both the dream-pop and Britpop scenes in the 1990s; more recently, she wrote one of the best rock memoirs this decade. Now, Miki Berenyi is back with new music as Miki Berenyi Trio, and will be answering your questions on her life and career.
In her memoir, Berenyi charted her path through a troubled childhood and into the late-80s UK music scene, where Lush initially distinguished themselves from their moodier shoegaze peers with bright, chiming guitars and Berenyi’s wistfully beautiful vocal lines. As Britpop became a pop cultural phenomenon, the band upped the tempo, sharpened their focus, and wrote songs which still stand out: Single Girl and Ladykillers, both Top 30 hits, eye-rollingly lamented toxic male suitors, while Ciao! was an evocative duet with Jarvis Cocker.
