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 until 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 issued U.S. Retrace, a collection of previously unreleased tracks from the time of the Anima Animus sessions. Sequins in the Sun, a live recording from the June 1999 Glastonbury Festival, was released in 1999, followed by Hai!, a studio recording featuring
KODO drummer
Leonard Eto, in 2003. In 2007
Siouxsie announced that she and
Budgie had been divorced, which effectively brought their musical collaboration under the
Creatures moniker to a close. ~ Jason Ankeny
