  • 6 months ago
Completed & fixed video for the lip sync of "OVERGROUND ('THE THORN EP' version)" filmed on Thursday, 25th October 1984 at a TV studio in Woerden (a town in the central Netherlands, somewhere along the motorway from Utrecht to Rotterdam) for the music show 'Je Ziet Maar' of VARA Dutch TV, that episode first being aired on Saturday, 17th November 1984.

Brief history: On Thursday, 25th October 1984, Siouxsie & The Banshees flew to the Netherlands for just one day, got driven to the town of Woerden, got into a TV studio there for rehearsing three times, shooting three times, then stepping into the limousine which brought them to the 'Memphis Hotel' in Amsterdam later that evening, before flying back home in London to continue the rehearsals of songs for their then next studio album (that would become 'TINDERBOX'.)

At the time, "OVERGROUND" (a number of their first studio album 'THE SCREAM' but now fully equipped with an arrangement of strings) was coming out domestically as a single in the Netherlands, after that particular version of it with strings had already been included in 'THE THORN', an EP of four old Banshees songs in new string versions.
