In response to Miki Berenyi Trio at Great American Music Hall, San Francisco (01 Jun 2024), Sean King writes:
Great review. I first saw Lush in 1991, saw Piroshka in 2019 and saw Miki Berenyi Trio two weeks ago at NYC’s Webster Hall. I thought MB3 sounded great. I didn’t check any set lists beforehand but did watch/listen a few times to their professionally-recorded September 2023 Paris Popfest performance on YouTube, so I knew most of the new MB3 songs.
I like all Lush, although I’d say “Ladykillers” is my least favorite song from my least favorite album of theirs. I never expected them to play it but really enjoyed how they delivered it this time – in a more “classic Lush” manner.
By the way, opening act drummers Lol (The Cure) and Budgie (Siouxsie & The Banshees) came on to play on our show’s finale at Webster Hall, “Baby Talk” (early Lush song).
Miki says this mini-U.S. tour did well enough that they play to return in 2025 (hopefully, WITH Moose!) and will also release an MB3 album next year.
Photos: That’s me and bassist Muck Conroy outside the venue beforehand. Usual bassist Ollie was filling in for Moose on guitar who’s afraid to fly. So, Piroshka veteran Mick (a founding member of Modern English) was drafted in on bass for this tour. As you may recall, he first played with Miki on the last-ever 2016 Lush reunion show. It was his idea to hold up five fingers here, as it’d been five years since we posed for that 2019 Berlin photo with Moose. He didn’t remember me per se but he remembered that Berlin show. Nice guy.
