Miki Berenyi began her career as a recording artist in 1989, as co-founder of the band Lush, releasing a series of EPs and LPs 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. 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).
