Get ready for "An Evening With Siouxsie: The Creatures & The Banshees." Original punk rock queen Siouxsie Sioux has announced a string of performances during which she'll play two hours' worth of material spanning her vast 25-year catalog with Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures.

She'll be joined by longtime bandmate/husband Budgie as well as ex-Kodo drummer Leonard Eto. No opening acts will appear and venues will be of "intimate" size.

The tour begins at The Showbox in Seattle May 19 and hits familiar spots including The Warfield in San Francisco, Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin and The Majestic Theatre in Detroit before wrapping with two nights at the B.B. King Blues Club in New York City June 8-9.

Tickets fall in the $26-$35 range; visit thecreatures.com for more info.

Siouxsie and Budgie released their fifth album as The Creatures, Hai!, last October. Last summer saw the release of The Seven Year Itch, the live CD/DVD document of Siouxsie & The Banshees' 2002 reunion tour.
