Lush and Piroshka's Miki Berenyi announces US tour dates with Her Trio
Lol Tolhurst x Budgie x Jacknife Lee to support selected dates
January 22, 2024
Miki Berenyi—the former singer/guitarist with 1990s shoegaze, dream pop, and Britpop band Lush and also more currently a member of Piroshka—has announced some US tour dates with the Miki Berenyi Trio. They will be performing Lush and Piroshka songs, as well as some new Miki Berenyi Trio originals. Check out all the dates below, followed by a video of a live set the trio played at Paris Popfest last year.
For this tour, Berenyi will be joined by bassist Mick Conroy (Modern English and Piroshka) and guitarist Oliver Cherer. Berenyi's life partner and Piroshka band mate KJ “Moose” McKillop (of '90s shoegazers Moose) are usually in the trio, but according to a post on Twitter/X from Berenyi doesn't like to fly due to both environmental concerns and fear of flying, so Conroy stands inside.
In 2022, Berenyi released her famous memoir, Fingers crossedand the trio was born in part out of a need to appear at book events.
Pirohska, which also features ex-Elastica drummer Justin Welch, have released their second studio album, Love drips and collects, in 2021 via Bella Union. Read our interview with them about it here.
Last year, 4AD reissued Lush's three full-length studio albums—Haunted (1992), Division (1994), and I love life (1996) – on vinyl.
Lol Tolhurst x Budgie x Jacknife Lee—which is Lol Tolhurst (ex-The Cure), Budgie (ex-Siouxsie and the Banshees) and producer/musician Jacknife Lee—will support select dates. Their debut album together, Los Angeles, released last November via Play It Again Sam. Read our review of the album.
