Miki Berenyi of 90s favourites Lush has revealed that she’s forming a new supergroup featuring members of Elastica, Moose and Modern English.
Posting on Twitter, singer Miki Berenyi unveiled new group Piroshka – which features Elastica’s Justin Welch, Moose’s KJ McKillop and Modern English’s Michael Conroy.
Ok, so if you hadn’t pieced it together – mystery over. The new band is me, Moose, Justin Welch and (drum roll…) Michael Conroy (Modern English). He was such an amazing star stepping in at the last ever Lush show that I’ve not since let him out of my sight pic.twitter.com/KWqlzrKGqj

“Ok, so if you hadn’t pieced it together – mystery over. The new band is me, Moose, Justin Welch and (drum roll…) Michael Conroy (Modern English)”, Berenyi wrote.
“He was such an amazing star stepping in at the last ever Lush show that I’ve not since let him out of my sight.”
