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.|Miranda Sex Garden then reformed and released the best album of their career, the aptly named “Carnival of Souls”, featuring the bands swan song “Without Trace”. The band also contributed a song to a Radiohead tribute entitled “Exit music for a film”.|After this the Mediaeval Baebes took over as Katharine’s main concern, and MSG fell into a slumber. In 2006 Ben Golomstock released a solo album under the name Stories From The Moon which featured members of Miranda Sex Garden, Mediaeval Baebes, Queen Adreena, Colt, etc. which highly reprized the traditional MSG sound. In 2007 Katharine Blake released her first solo album, “Midnight Flower”, and In March 2009 Jocelyn West released her solo album, “Salt Bird”. |MEMBERS:|The members in the group have changed significantly over time; only Katharine Blake remained in the group for their entire run.
