During that period, Siouxsie and Budgie created their own label, Sioux Records, and became an independent act. A stand-alone single, "Sad Cunt", was offered to attendees of two warm-up concerts in London in May prior to the North American tour. From June to August, the pair toured the United States as a double bill with Cale, playing yet unreleased material: Siouxsie and Cale also sang several songs together each night.</ref> An EP, "Eraser Cut" (an anagram of "Creatures"), then came out; "Time Out" described the songs as "short, sharp, percussive and infectiously atmospheric". In October, they promoted the single "2nd Floor" with a video shot in black and white.
