Strange Days presents MBT live in Manchester at Yes (basement) on 20th April Miki Berenyi began her career as a recording artist in 1989, as co-founder of the band Lush, releasing a series of EPs (Scar, Mad Love and Black Spring compiled as Gala) and LPs (Spooky, Split and Lovelife) on the iconic 4AD label. The band toured extensively, many times in the US — with Ride, Babes in Toyland, Jane's Addiction, Flaming Lips, Weezer and, most notably, as openers on the 1992 Lollapalooza tour.
Lush split in 1996, and Miki retired from music, but a 2015-16 Lush reunion tour, which included a Coachella date and release of an EP Blond Spot, revived her enthusiasm and she formed Piroshka, who released two albums on Bella Union: Brickbat (2019) and Love Drips and Gathers (2021).
When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed, with her partner Kevin 'Moose' McKillop on guitar and Oliver Cherer on bass (both had played in Piroshka).
The band has developed a momentum of its own and they are now writing new songs, inserted into the set of Lush and Piroshka tracks as they continue to fulfil live bookings, with a plan to record and release an album in 2025.
