While there are some within Australia that would argue that no-one could ever hope to hold a candle to the original 1988 version of 'Peek-A-Boo' by UK outfit Siouxsie and the Banshees, our very own Bertie Blackman has given it a red hot crack. And it must be said that as far as cover versions go, this is pretty damned decent. Thankfully, Bertie stays pretty close to the original stylistically, adding in more keys and strings to update the sound. She also stays pretty true to the S&TB video, giving the clip a dark and shadowy vibe that simply draws the viewer in. We reckon BB is so hot right now, though for most commercial radio throughout the country she might also be just a little ahead of her time. Shame, 'cause this is such good stuff.
