Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for taking the time and care to put this all together.

This is such a magnificent website. Thank you so much. I was lucky enough to see Lush twice in Tokyo when I lived there during the Split and Lovelife tours. They played at the Liquid Room (original location before it moved to much bigger premises) which was live club on the 9th floor of a seedy building and the floors heaved when everybody danced. I remember Miki annoucing that her grandmother from Akita (way up in northern Japan) was there for the Split show. I wonder what she thought of the gig! I bought a tee shirt at this gig and often get asked "Who’s Lush?" Their loss for not knowing this truly stunning band. Miss them heaps, but am now collecting all their vinyl to complement the CDs. Again, thanks for this great site! Cheers

 

76. Zachary Unknown - 2010-01-20 18:30:52

Excellent Site!!! I love these videos and fantastic pictures!! I think that this site is the best Lush site ever!!!

 

75. Muppet Rocks AH - 2010-01-06 05:48:49

Saw Lush at Berlin Club in Perth, Aust. Dec 1992, so cool you can reference the gig on the site. I know a lot of bands have followed, had chart success, but very few can lay claim to having music that is LUSH - durable, fresh and could have been made anytime after 1982, yet still current! Lush will always be in my top 5 fav bands. Prersonal favs De-luxe, whole of Spooky, Breeze and Last night. Oh yeah I have seen 1000’s of bands and yet no drummer has ever match Chris Acland, the best & unique drummer EVER, and I was saying this before the tragic time in his life! Are the lyrics in Lush "grass in my thighs" correct!! HA HA Oh Emma was top shelf in her day! Always thought she was better tha Miki in the looks dept, bit like Marianne to Ginger in Gilligans Island. Fab site!

 

74. Jacob - 2009-12-17 02:53:20

I can’t begin to express how excited I am to have discovered this tremendous website tonight. Although I have occasionally come upon a few loosely-assembled LUSH pages from time to time, I never thought I would have the opportunity to access such high quality photographs and clippings of this band. Thank you so much for designing this thoughtful and thorough page, which is a wonderful tribute to a great group. Listening to "Spooky" and making a new background for my computer, I couldn’t be more pleased. Many many thanks!

 

73. Peter - 2009-12-16 06:29:40

I remember seeing Lush in Sydney at the Marquee club in December 92. They came on very late - about 12;30 am, but I still remember it as one of the best gigs I’ve been to. Miki & Emma’s harmonies were simply stunning - what an awesome band. I wonder what Emma is up to these days...

 

72. goran - 2009-12-15 22:13:49

this website is simly amazing. thank you so much for doing it!! x

 

71. Rob - 2009-11-21 22:59:18

I remember going with some mates to the "stagedoor" in Hanley, Stoke on Trent. Miki bless her couldn’t remember the length of intro so asked the crowd to help out, where we all piped up "dooo-do-do--dooo-do-do..." along to "Last night" ;o) we miss your music, honey both you and Emma wrote some amazing stuff. When i was younger your music bought me out of the depression that i slipped into. All the happy bouncy stuff i love you for... I’ll always have a space for Lush in my heart and a bigger one in my memories for you Miki, Love You ;o) X x X (ps facebook me lol x)

 

70. strani - 2009-11-17 06:23:49

i miss them soo much! best band ever!!!

 

69. Moz - 2009-09-22 08:44:49

I did an interview with Phil & Emma at the Astoria on the day Split was launched. They were really lovely, and I had a complete blast. It’s on a cassette tape somewhere in my house, and when I find it I’ll copy it off and send it to you. Great website - so many memories. If it’s actually possible to be in love with a band, I was in love with Lush.

 

68. Mick - 2009-09-20 09:53:39

C’mon you lazy bastard..get this Phil interview out. Only joking obviously..but the people want to hear it.

 

67. Matt M - 2009-08-19 19:26:04

I saw Lush in 1996 at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, MI. I was so enamored of them and just absolutely loved, and I still do LOVE, their music. A girlfriend and I went and just before their set, as you walk from the foyer/lobby to the concert hall, stood a tiny 5’ 1" red head with these gorgeous cat-eyes. It was Miki! I was so stunned, standing less than three feet away from her, our eyes met and she walked in to watch the opening band. My girlfriend saw it all happen and asked why I didn’t say something...to this day, I have no idea. I guess I’m just not ballsy enough or I’m not a douche-bag sort that comes up to celebrities with the, "Big fan big fan" line. I dunno. But hey, what a great show!!! I miss them, God bless you, Chris!

 

66. brian davies - 2009-08-04 14:23:12

Lush were one of the best live bands of the late 1980s and most of the 1990s. I kinda lost touch with their music when the band broke up. And yet, last month (for no apparent reason)I dug-up my old vinyl collection and CDs and reminded myself what a great band they were. Sadly missed but they shouldn’t get back together again. No way! Today, I’ve ordered a Sing-Sing album from Amazon, trying to keep the spirit alive. Thanks for taking the time to maintain this page; it is one i shall return to time-and-tine again. It’s a good and worthy site. Kind regards, Brian, St Helens, Lancashire.

 

65. 90’s child - 2009-08-04 08:42:32

Great! I wasn’t the only one to fancy the pants off Miki Berenyi! What a sexy fox!

 

64. Scott - 2009-07-12 07:56:17

Lush was one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. I really miss their sound.

 

63. An - 2009-06-27 09:12:44

lovely, thanks for keeping up this website after so many years x

 

62. Tom - 2009-06-24 23:05:20

God, how I miss this band. The site is great! Thomas Friedrich Washington, DC

 

61. Chris - 2009-06-23 22:22:09

Terrific website! Thanks for all of your hard work.

 

60. michel - 2009-06-21 14:12:41

what a lushly website thank for this wonderfull work !

 

59. Stew - 2009-06-14 17:52:03

Always loved ’Gala’. Saw them in a haze at Lalapalooza way back when. If they ever regroup and need a bassist, I’m available! ha Stew O’Dell Los Angeles

 

 

58. saori - 2009-06-12 14:22:23

I love this website.Thank you.I’v been waiting for Miki and Ema’s new song!Them songwritings are so special.

 

57. Scott - 2009-06-10 13:30:35

Wow - this page is a terrific find. Thanks for maintaining this. Lush was a band I truly adored when I was in college, and to this day their music remains as fresh and relevant as it was all those years ago. My best to them and to the webmaster!

 

56. Chris B - 2009-06-07 00:28:06

Met Miki and the band backstage in 1991 in Cleveland. What a crush I had on Miki ! Hey Hey Heaven...

 

55. Doug - 2009-04-19 22:20:07

Thanks for the re-memories.

 

54. joe in Dallas - 2009-04-05 22:00:13

Nice web site, I got the Gala cd in 90 and seen them in 92 and 96. Now I’m old and lush still sound great. Bless them.

 

53. Pierre - 2009-03-21 23:52:42

I’ve spend this night on surfing on this website and promise to come back and send a lot of things to the webmaster for everyone. The thing that touched me the most was the photo of Chris in his bedroom in France. I was really, really sad. I thank a lot Phil King of this kindness for gave us such beautiful and rare photos of them and hope Emma, Miki and Chris’ family will follow him to help making this website a unique and original platform of a story of a band and their fans. A GREAT WORK ! KEEP ON ROCKIN’ ! I remember you tonigth Chris. Love xxx Pierre

 

52. Lawrence - 2009-03-07 19:33:25

What a great website. Still remember Lush fondly as a quality band. The gigography is a great resource and allows me to firmly class myself as OLD. I still remember having my ears battered by the classic lush wall of sound at the University of Essex Gig where Lush supported the House of Love. You will not be forgotten.

 

51. Jens from Hamburg - 2009-02-28 08:02:31

I sometimes wondered about the name "Berenyi" until I had the chance to join a naturalists journey through croatia´s backlands in 2004. We reached a green and slight hilly countryside named the "Baranya"...Uhu, sounds similiar. It is close to- and reaching to the other side of the Hungarian border, so as I know now, I wasn´t quite wrong! The translation of "Baranya" is, as far as I know "land of sheep". Nice, isn´t it? Jens (why am I so alone in this guestbook..??)

 

50. Jens from Hamburg - 2009-02-22 06:52:14

To Cord, thank you for your hint, yeah 1992 it was Grosse Freiheit, after looking through all the photos of the site (there are photos of 1994 at Markthalle). I remember Miki wearing a black dress (she somehow walked through the audience like a simple but very beautiful girl with her guitar, and then entered the stage)not a silver dress. Oh, of course I love the whole of the band and the music, but this is what you remember... I think "Grosstadtrevier" is quite a nice TV series altough quite naive, but the setting is St.Pauli Reeperbahn where most of the bands play and if your girlfriend likes it she surely is a nice girl. Good luck and if there should be a small, small probability they might one day play again in Hamburg, we can meet if you want- we are fellow lush fans! Jens

 

49. BIN - 2009-02-11 02:07:38

Very cool website! must for all Lush fans.

 

48. ben kindberg - 2009-01-22 17:43:50

This is a great site! I’ve been in love with Miki for about 18 years now. And the music is the prettiest I’ve ever heard.

 

47. cord - 2009-01-14 16:23:31

To Jens; Must have been 1992, they played the Markthalle in ’94 and I saw Curve the same month at the Große Freiheit in 1992 and IIRC they still had the Lush Tour Posters up (had to go to Cologne to see Lush that year for various reasons). Incidently, I saw an old episode of "Großtadtrevier" some time ago (my Girlfriend likes it ) which had some scenes shot in front of the Große Freiheit... and right there was the Lush Tour Poster -cord

 

46. Eric, Netherlands - 2008-12-06 07:49:08

Light from a dead star (Lush - Split)

 

45. Eric, Netherlands - 2008-12-06 07:31:58

My favorite band, never surpassed. I would like to see them live, never had that opportunity but I would take it this time if they play live again anywhere in Europe.

 

44. Jens Reinke - 2008-12-06 07:27:32

Believe me, i was close to tears, when I got my own PC finally few weeks ago and asking google for "Miki berenyi lush" finding this charming website with the lot of beautiful photos!! I watched&loved the Lush gig here in Hamburg/Germany at "Große Freiheit" (the hall was quite fulfilled), must have been 1992 (?). Until that everyone was talking about Punk/Wave, later everyone was techno dancing but this was somewhere between it!! I wondered what happened for a long, long time , as the band seemed to have disappeared. So thank you so very very much for this page, I will stay connected feels like coming home!!! Jens, from Hamburg

 

43. Bret, Atlanta - 2008-11-29 02:56:25

This is -the- band of the 90’s. Thanks for this site. Gets me Closer again.

 

42. michael molina - 2008-10-31 18:48:32

i read all the whole page and i’ve found that lush is a very interesting band for me, my ex-girlfriend that is from england but she lived in colombia with me, she brought me some albums that included 2 lush albums; gala and split and when i’ve started listening to those albums i was impressed because i’ve never listened 2 angels like miki and emma singing beautiful and the guitars remembers me my schooldays and i’m still have those 2 albums hidden anywhere in my house offcourse i have copies from that albums and i put them loud everyday when i’m traveling long miles away...thanks a lot for the webpage....

 

41. KD - 2008-10-09 05:00:00

Gorgeous website. Well done and thanks for putting all this stuff together. Sometimes wish it was ’95 again!

 

40. Steve Mitchell - 2008-09-10 19:15:42

I only wish I could become friends with them simply because they seems fun, interesting and not full of themselves. It’ always been some of the best music I will ever hear in my life. Always tucked away in my soul.

 

39. eddy - 2008-09-10 03:28:00

I saw them in Seattle touring with Lala. Great live band. Nice site. Keep it up! Cheers to you from Seattle!!!!!

 

38. staash - 2008-09-05 00:10:27

Hello, I saw Lush at a Lollapalooza show in Phoenix, AZ way back in the early ’90’s and they were tremendous.

 

37. dani - 2008-08-08 13:48:11

congratulations for your work! Lush forever!! From Barcelona; dani

 

36. Bailey - 2008-07-01 13:24:12

"Monochrome" is my favorite Lush song...it never fails to bring me hope and happiness. This site is absolutely amazing and carries on the spirit of Lush. Thanks for the beautiful photographs, interviews, and especially thanks for creating the site altogether. I would have definitely gone to see Lush in Honolulu since I live in Hawaii, but I was maybe five or six at the time. I wish I had been more aware of their uplifting and jubilant music. Miki and Emma are my heroes and legendary music icons. Cheers!

 

35. Mischa - 2008-06-29 18:51:58

Wow! Finally a great Lush website. I’ve been a fan since 1990 and was lucky enough to see them live in Portland in 1996. Will link to you from my site. Thanks! Miki interview soon?

 

34. Keith - 2008-06-16 19:25:31

Great site, fairly up to date! Never got to see them either, have all their CDs plus those of Sing-Sing as well, the music will always live on!

 

33. dakidz - 2008-06-04 14:25:54

great site man!! i’m saddened by the fact that i found out about them after they had disbanded, to think that i will never be able to attend their concerts because they are now gone forever Anyway, as i’m typing down this message, i can’t stop listening to nothing natural. Could anyone upload a live video of nothing natural on youtube? that would be extremely neat

 

32. Dave - 2008-05-30 13:45:44

Great memories of a fantastic band, well done! First saw them at Pelican Club in Aberdeen and have had a crush on Emma ever since, luckily my mate fancied Miki! More than that though their music was wonderful and De-Luxe is still the most listened to track on my IPOD.

 

31. Martijn - 2008-05-22 02:57:28

Wow, thank you so much for this site! I’ve been totally falling for Lush’s music all over again during the past week, and this site’s provided all I needed to complement the sounds. Reading articles I’d read (and cut out) ages ago (and lost in the past decade), seeing pictures of the one gig I attended... wow! And those handwritten lyrics! I hope 4AD do get around to those remasters.

 

30. GRHM - 2008-05-21 07:35:54

Great site! Saw lush 13 times between 1990 and 1996 and have many great memories from that time. (will share some soon) Will be returning here many times in the future. Thanks!!

 

29. Jen G - 2008-05-09 16:05:46

Thanks for creating this wonderful site.

 

 

28. Mark Marquez - 2008-05-07 17:30:32

they where one of my favorite bands , still love them today any how really great site , always had a crush on Emma ,lol

 

27. Kenneth Tony Delusions - 2008-05-05 03:09:48

I’ve spent years trying to find everything I could about Lush, I spent alot of my teenage years listening to them in spite of my metalhead companions. This is the best source ever! It hard to beleive Miki even offered you information! How in the world did you get hold of her!?

 

26. Christian - 2008-04-23 18:47:39

Great site. Do you have some Lush sheet music or tabs?

 

25. Yu-Lun - 2008-04-03 02:16:13

This Lush site is the bee’s knees. ’Can’t wait for more updates...love the pictures and memorabilia! I’ll make sure to check up for updates, perhaps some guitar tabs would even be nice. ;)

 

24. LYLE - 2008-03-26 12:53:30

AWESOME SITE !!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE PHOTOS, INTERVIEWS AND MEMORABILIA ARE GREAT !!!!!!!! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME AND TROUBLE OF PUTTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER. THE FIRST TIME I LOOKED AT THE SITE I WAS IN LUSH HEAVEN !!!!!!!! LYLE - LAS VEGAS,NEVADA

 

23. James - 2008-03-26 03:14:13

Amazing site and a true labour of love. Thank you for your incredible efforts, a fan of the band for its entire existence this is the closest things to a definitive resource for a truly deserving band.

 

22. Hermy - 2008-03-24 22:38:15

this site is excellent~ and im glad to be one of the Split-voters ;D ive always had this question unanswered and i think maybe i can get it here; since Emma does the "backing vocals", id like to know exactly which lines she sang to, coz i think most of time its still Miki who does it. this question has troubled me for a long time so i’ll really appreciate it if anyone can answer me. thx!

 

21. Goroart - 2008-03-18 12:48:34

Happy birthday my dear Miki-san.Always wishing your happiness and health.LOVE

 

20. Scott - 2008-03-05 17:55:51

17. Warren Bardsley - 2008-02-08 09:31:21

As said on the Lovelife (Suga Bullit Remix) - Love it...love it....etc....

 

16. Matt - 2008-02-07 11:57:39

Great site! I’ve been waiting for something like this to show up online for years. "Light from a Dead Star" is the perfect name for this site (it’s the same thing I used for my personal greatest hits/mix CD for the band). I don’t know what it is about this band, but they’ve stuck with me after all of these years. I only saw them once (Lollapalooza in Detroit in 1992), and wish I’d caught them a few more times. Along with the Replacements, Lush gets my vote as "Best Band Who Never Got the Recognition They Deserved." It’s nice to see others treasure them as I do. Matt (ex-Detroit, current-Bangkok)

 

15. Jen - 2008-01-29 14:17:09

Hi Bill - Thank you for your awesome site on Lush - and for your dedication in putting this site together, with sooo much info, for all us Lush fans. ;D Jen

 

14. Orrimarrko - 2008-01-29 12:03:58

Outstanding site Bill! This is definitely one of the better resources on the net.

8. Me - 2008-01-23 17:35:37

I was sceptical to say the least when I first read about all this for various reasons. But no! You’ve done yourself proud here mate. An excellent job and a very good dedication to a totally exceptional band.

 

7. jb - 2008-01-23 11:33:25

Great !

 

3. Chris S - 2008-01-22 15:46:45

You scored! All this Lush stuff---you must be in hog-heaven. They truly were the savants of the "dream pop" or "shoegaze" era 1989-1996. Not a day goes by when I don’t look at my Split record flats or Split green and orange Lush sticker that I scored during that 1994 US tour and wonderlust over the whole event and time-period. It was the ghost of the times, huh, wasn’t it!? Good luck on collecting more memorabilia---always glad that I could help. They are my favorite pop band forever!

 

2. Martin Flaherty - 2008-01-22 13:11:02

nice
