Peter Murphy - 40 years of Bauhaus feat. David J
The “Godfather of Goth” returns to the stage and gives an overview of 40 years BAUHAUS and thus also the history of a subculture. When the four art students Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins founded a band in 1978, the dimensions was not to be foreseen. They influenced people, music, movies and even comics.
With ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’, BAUHAUS succeeded in creating a masterpiece of musical and content sophistication that earned them positive reviews and a place in the British Post-Punk culture. The song climbed in the independent charts for two years and the debut album, ‘In the Flat Field’, made it into the top 100 records sold. Again and again the four musicians linked dark thoughts and melancholy music so that they spoke out of many soul. In the first album of the band it says “I’ll still be here as strong as you” (song: ‘crowds’), but in the last album the trailblazers of Goth-Rock have to confess “We put the clocks forward, We put the clocks back, Mirror is never fooled” (song: ‘mirror remains’).
Peter Murphy and David J return to the stage for the 40th anniversary of BAUHAUS and show with their “Ruby Celebration” that death-belied ones like Bela Lugosi live longer.
