Miki:
Facebook
In late 2023, the Lush
official Facebook page became Miki's primary social
media presence, with the band's approval. She is very
active on it, including the latest book tour info and
Miki Berenyi Trio schedule, and lots of photos from the
past.

Twitter
Starting around March 2018, Miki became
much more active on Twitter and has been posting loads
of fantastic personal early photos and recollections
from her Lush days (and before) and having great
conversations with fans.
UPDATE: In 2023 Miki became more active on Facebook than
on Twitter (now called "X"), see above.

Official Reunion Website

The
official band website
that was created for the 2016 reunion was eventually taken down in 2018. This is an exact
copy of the website, archived here for posterity. In addition, most of the information
on the official
reunion website
has also been integrated into
various pages throughout this site.
Facebook
Twitter
Instagram
The only activity since the end of
the reunion was to sell off remaining merch.
UPDATE: In 2023, Miki took over the Lush Facebook
page which had been inactive for years and the URL
was changed (see the Miki section to the left).
However all the old posts from the reunion are still
there if you scroll down far enough (or search for
them).
Merchandise Store
The store was shut down once all the remaining merch
was sold.

Sadly, more and more of these sites are
disapearing over time, so many of these links are
broken. I am keeping them here only as a
reminder of what has come and gone. A few
of these links are still up and have lasted many years!
I obtained material from many of the above fan sites
- anything from a single show date to
press articles, fan quotes, lyrics, photos, or an entire
gig list. In fact, the goal of this site was to combine all
the Lush material from all the above sites (which
have a lot of cross-duplication) into one central location. I've tried to credit my sources on the individual
pages throughout this site, unfortunately I sometimes lost
track of what came from where. See the
disclaimer page for details.
Tip: For fan sites that are no longer up, try copying its address
from the above links
into the
Internet Archive Wayback Machine, an archiving
service which periodically saves copies of
websites. The archive does not include images, and only
includes pages a few levels down, but you
still get a sense of what the original site was like.

[Sadly, the entire Yahoo Groups
service will be shut down December 15, 2020]
For many years--long before this website--these
Yahoo groups were the main (only?) place for long-time
Lush fans to meet and exchange information, and they are
a wonderful archive of past discussions. During the 2016
reunion most of the activity moved to social media, fortunately these groups are becoming active again
after the reunion ended.
