2017-Feb-16   Under the Radar   2016 Artist Survey: Miki Berenyi of Lush

Each year, the magazine sends out the same set of wide-ranging questions to many artists. In typical Miki fashion, her answers are funny, intelligent and honest. Some of her responses talk about the 2016 reunion, and in answering one of the more unusual questions Miki reveals something about the reunion that has not appeared anywhere else.

Back in 2007, Under the Radar was the first magazine to interview Miki after 10 years of silence.


This page only includes articles and interviews that pertain to the reunion.
Other interviews published during this time can be found in the Feature Articles 2016-Now section.
