Siouxsie & the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees were a British rock band that formed in 1976. Led by the singer Siouxsie Sioux and the bassist Steven Severin, the band's only constant members, the Banshees formed in the wake of the Punk scene and soon became one of the major bands in the post-punk movement. Their eclectic music influenced a large range of very diverse bands over the years amongst them The Cure, Tricky and more recently LCD Soundsystem. The group released a total of eleven studio albums from 1978 to 1995. The Banshees remain cult today. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_%26_the_Banshees)
