Goth❌Industrial

traditional / gothic / experimental, 1991

Formed in 1990, Katharine Blake, Kelly McCusker and Jocelyn West were originally a trio of madrigal singers, also skilled in the playing of various instruments.[2][3] They had been educated at The Purcell School for Young Musicians in Bushey.[4][5] The band's name came from the novel The Ticket That Exploded by William S. Burroughs.[6]
To develop performance experience (and raise spare cash) the trio opted to busk on the streets of London. In an interview with Stubble Magazine, Katharine Blake commented, "Sometimes I think it's better there is a lot less bullshit you just get out there and do it. If people like it they throw money at you if they don't they tell you".[2] Consequently, Miranda Sex Garden were discovered by Barry Adamson while singing three-part harmony Elizabethan madrigals on Portobello Road.[7] ...
Their first album, Madra (August 1991), was produced by classical producer Tony Faulkner.[12] Entirely a cappella, with the songs all based on traditional English verse, it took only two days to record.[13] As part of the promotion, Miranda Sex Garden supported Blur in concert at the Astoria in London in April 1991.
