Artist Biography
Available in:

Miranda Sex Garden are a band formed in London, UK, in 1990, currently on an extended hiatus. Originally a trio of madrigal singers comprising Kelly McCusker, Jocelyn West and main vocalist Katharine Blake. The first album, “Madra”, was entirely a cappella, with the songs all based on English renaissance verse. For their second release, the mini album “Iris”, the sound evolved into a blend of their madrigal-styled vocals with sounds reminiscent of gothic rock, darkwave and ethereal wave. It was at this point the band line up expanded to include Ben Golomstock and Trevor Sharpe providing percussion, drums, guitars and organs.

The band line-up stayed stable for the release of the next album, named after a Dario Argento’s film, “Suspiria”, which is where the bands full sound was realized. A spin-off band, “The Waltzing Maggots” were gigging around this time, taking their name from the bizarre tracks “Widdle Biddle and His Waltzing Maggot”, and “Willie Biddle in His Watery Grave”.

Around the time of their third album, “Fairytales of Slavery”, they said they wanted to create music that evoked a “seductive garden of earthly delights, full of color and chaos”. For the release of the “Peepshow” single the band actually played naked in the window of one of the main record stores in London with the windows blocked out apart from a peephole apparently…

The band took a hiatus after the release of “Fairytales of Slavery” during which founder member Katharine Blake formed the wildly successful all girl band Mediaeval Baebes who debuted at number 1 in the classical charts with their “Salva Nos” album.
