Bauhaus & Descendants

[clodhopper]

The many projects that came out of that band.

[Necrodoommonkey]

Saw Peter Murphy last night in Portland. Peter was top notch (other than forgetting the lyrics to the second verse of Hurt). He hit every single note perfectly.

The bad: She Wants Revenge opened, and I'm certain they played the same song for 45 minutes. So goddamn boring.
Sound guy fucked up Peter's vocal effects and they had to stop for about 10 minutes after the second song. Peter unbuttoned his shirt and let people touch his nipples to pass the time.
Peter's drummer was fucking awful. Couldn't keep time for shit, missed beats and kept missing fills. Peter was actually pointing at which drum should be hit on what beat.
Lighting guy kept fucking up, and Peter had to keep telling him to go back to red.

Summary: Peter was great. Everyone else was totally sub-par.

[Baphomette]

The Descendants are an old punk rock band and that's what I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

[Kid Charlemagne]

The Descendants are an old punk rock band and that's what I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.Same here. I was thinking "Peter Murphy didn't write Milo Goes to College".

[frankie teardrop]

my favorite of all the related projects is easily tones on tail, though bauhaus are equally fantastic. never cared for both love & rockets and the murph's solo career, outside of a few undeniable tracks (cuts you up, life in laralay, etc.).

[butters]

Just pressed play on a 89-song Bauhaus/Peter Murphy/Tones on Tail/Love and Rockets/David J/Daniel Ash/Kevin Haskins/Dalis Car playlist that I forgot I compiled a while back. Gonna be a good day at work..... :)


(incidentally, can anyone change the damn thread title! "Descendants" just sounds weird. Good punk band, but weird wording in this regard.)

[frankie teardrop]

bauhaus & related projects would be the pops.

[xmd 5a]

Tones on Tail is probably the strongest of the side projects, but these are absolutely massive tunes:

[Space Suicide]

Nercrobump to talk about my recent resurgence of love for Love and Rockets. Haven't listened to them in a long time and I busted out a mixtape of them that I had in my car under a bunch of shit in my dashboard. Nay I say that listening to Kundalini Express at high speeds on the Interstate is fantastic.

:p

[Sutekh]

Not seeing NIN/Bauhaus/Peaches in Brixton is one of my all-time regrets

I lead a charmed life

[fillow]

NIN/Bauhaus/Peaches in Brixton? I thought they only toured NA amphitheaters?

[Sutekh]

If that's true then my world is a brighter place

ps the version of Hollow Hills on "Crackle" is superior

[eversonpoe]

ps the version of Hollow Hills on "Crackle" is superior

superior to what? the original version on "Mask" or the version on the remastered version of "Mask"?

Peter Murphy celebrates 35 years of Bauhaus!
Our very good friends at Tombowler are excited to announce that iconic frontman Peter Murphy will be playing the Mr. Moonlight Tour, celebrating 35 years of Bauhaus. Murphy, who has started working with producer Youth (Killing Joke, The Verve) on the follow up to his 2011 critically acclaimed solo effort, NINTH, will play three shows in Australia this December with a full band performing only Bauhaus material. Says Peter, “Since 2006, I have included my Bauhaus work into my solo work as a way of tipping my hat to my own audience… those who discovered my early work as well as new and old fans of those years’ strong wishes to hear the music of my band crackle and spark in the live arena. Being the foremost advocate of this Bauhaus work, I decided the time was ripe to at last give a pure Bauhaus experience in one Mr. Moonlight world tour. Mr. Moonlight is alive and well, don't doubt it.” Bauhaus formed in 1978 and achieved worldwide cult status that continues to this day. As the main man of the acclaimed outfit, Peter Murphy helped usher in ground breaking opaque moods and atmospheres into the post-punk landscape. Bauhaus originally split in 1983, but eventually bowed to public pressure to reform in 1998 and again in 2005. The Mr. Moonlight Tour will be the first time since 2006 that Peter Murphy will perform full Bauhaus sets, and the first time ever that he will do so on his own.

was just talking about this piece of nostalgia with a coworker, and it continues to bring me great joy:

[henryeatscereal]

I really like "Bauhaus" and "Love & Rockets", i know a few songs of "Tones on Tail" and i like Pete as a solo act...

I think one of the most interesting Bauhaus-related albums is "Unshattered" by Peter Murphy, the album is a great listen and truly has some beautiful tunes, it's on the vein of Nick Cave and Lou Reed and it didn't really have an impact, i bought ti because it was cheap mostly and i got a pleasant surprise when i played it...

[Camille]

The many projects that came out of that band.
Wow, you had a lot to say about either.

[Camille]

I love Mask and Burning From The Inside, great albums. I also love the long version of Bela Lugosi, great dub effects. I'm not too familiar with L&R or Murphy's solo shit.

[Shadaloo]

Of note: the 5CD Beggar's Banquet box set that just came out not too long ago has new masters for the Sky's Gone Out and Burning From The Inside, both of which were planned to receive Omnibus editions like In The Flat Field and Mask, but were shelved due to relatively low sales of the first two. I'll be picking that up. The singles CD also has that Spirit In the Sky B-Side from the Sanity Assassin single, so the completist in me will be quite happy with that.

Murphy's Deep is one hell of an album.

[clodhopper]

Wow, you had a lot to say about either.

They were a favorite band in high school -- saw them on the very last headlining tour they did, but I don't think I've put on one of their records probably since I started this thread.

Love & Rockets' first 4 records are great, and I think Hot Trip to Heaven is underrated. Not very big on Murphy solo. Also, if you haven't already, check out Daniel Ash's Tones on Tail.

i haven't heard about this! link? i loved the two omnibus editions and was waiting for them to release the rest of their albums in the same way.

haha i saw that, too. half of the reviews are from people saying "CHANGE YOUR NAME! there's already a band called bauhuas!"

[allegro]

Wtf is this?

http://jmtd.net/tmp/bauhaus.jpg
It looks like their name is Bauwatch (a takeoff on Baywatch, look at their outfits) but somebody fucked up the playlist title?

[The Doctor]

*necro bump*

Can't believe nobody has posted in this thread for so long.

Been listening to a lot of Peter Murphy today. Couple of thoughts:

Lion is really good, and the remix version of it might be even better. Does anyone else enjoy the remix version?

i was also listening to the 35 Years of Bauhaus live album and was struck by a comment he makes at the beginning of Severance. Something to the effect of "I'll be releasing Lion soon, an album Bauhaus could have made but didn't so I did." I can't find anything anywhere else in regards to this. Does anyone have any insight or is Murphy just weirdly talking shit and promoting his new solo album?

[fillow]

Well, Bauhaus split right after GAW due to personal conflicts, not any creative differences. They could've easily write much more songs than they had time to finish.

Btw I believe Go Away White is as good as four original albums.

[Shadaloo]

As do I :)

Kevin Haskins has penned a coffee table book called Bauhaus Undead. Excerpt with an Iggy Pop anecdote. (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bauhaus-drummer-recalls-raucous-iggy-pop-encounter-w440664)

It ain't cheap (http://www.bauhausbook.com/)

[Shadaloo]

I caught Poptone two nights back here in Montreal. Mostly Tones On Tail material of course, a handful of Love & Rockets songs, one Daniel Ash solo track, a Physical cover (closer to Adam Ant than NIN) and Bauhaus' Slice Of Life which the crowd went absolutely insane for. Diva's great on bass and it was a really fun show. Go if they come near you!

So now you've got Peter Murphy and David J doing a residency together, and Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins touring.

Guys just have another foursome already and keep Peter and Daniel on different buses or something.

what's the beef between peter & daniel?

[Shadaloo]

One of the incidents that caused the fracturing of Bauhaus last time was largely those two going after each other. IIRC there was an argument, Daniel tried to smooth it over only to be met with Peter literally spitting rose petals into his face in an "I hate you but I love you gesture" which was the last straw.

And so...

Assuming of course he gets his passport/visa shit all figured out. He's been trying to do a residency in the US for the last two years at least and his visa is basically in administrative limbo.

enjoyed speaking to kevin/daniel a few weeks back, thought you guys might enjoy the interview:
http://www.post-punk.com/now-we-lustre-an-interview-with-poptones-daniel-ash-and-kevin-haskins/

looking forward to seeing poptone next week in NYC! had to miss the first show, but since tones is by FAR my favorite thing these guys have done, i'm excited to hear the material live.

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

Out next month, a 5 track EP "The Bela Session"...Finally a remastered version of 'Bela Lugosi's Dead" plus 3 unreleased songs (the OG version of "Boys" which is different than the version released on the Lugosi single back in the day).....Initially it said only available on vinyl. Amazon now lists the CD for sale as well

Peter Murphy thrown out of his own gig after assaulting the audience (https://louderthanwar.com/peter-murphy-thrown-gig-sweden-former-bauhaus-singer-bizarre-incident/?fbclid=IwAR1KbdFp68gPQRJHng3u5AuWRiHHZgoBGNLhMoDC KfbA10ojwxxRXbtLqxs)

I hope he gets the help he needs.

[Come_Reptile]

This is not a good look at all. Can you imagine seeing one of your fave musicians and they throw bottles at you? I already bought my ticket for the Portland, OR date in January, but feeling conflicted.

[Jord]

Hopefully he doesn’t go downhill again after the troubles he had before. Saw him in Manchester the other week and it was a really good show and he’s still in fine voice! Then the day after Daniel Ash posted ‘cant wait for 2019’ with #bauhaus on Facebook alongside a live Gotham video from 1999 which was promptly deleted. Now I never thought they’d reconcile after the last split but this was quite a tease!

[NotoriousTIMP]

Saw Peter Murphy last night in Anaheim and holy hell does it still have it! The dude can belt out lyrics like he's still in his 20's, it was amazing! If you have a chance to catch this tour I highly recommend it! Even the opener, Desert Mountain Tribe, was awesome!

Been listening to 2018 remastered "Pressed Eject And Give Me The Tape" lately and quite liking it. Good sense of atmosphere considering its pieced together from three different concerts.

[october_midnight]

Damn, Peter had a heart attack yesterday. :(

[Demogorgon]

I was just coming here to post about that. This residency he's been trying to do seems to be just doomed to failure. First he couldn't get the Visa he needed for months and months on end, now, he's having emergency health issues. I just don't feel like it was meant to happen. I hope he makes a full recovery.

[Jord]

Peter is doing well and is up and running again thankfully! He put a nice note out thanking friends and fans and interestingly his Bauhaus bandmates - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-49471393

Glad to hear he's okay once again.

Well shit, looks like the post Daniel Ash made a few months ago did mean something, hopefully it’s more than a one off however I’m doubtful. If anything they should perhaps tour one more time and put it to bed properly and amicably.

Whipped this Spotify playlist up the other night - off the top of my head, threw together a bunch of tracks from Tones On Tail, Love & Rockets and from throughout David, Peter and Daniel's solo careers that always gave me Bauhaus-esque vibes.

Jesus, fair play to them, I didn't expect any new material at all, I genuinely thought they wouldn't get in a room together to write again so this is a nice surprise if something does come.

I love how many times Bauhaus has come back from the dead. Apropos! I remember being absurdly excited in 1998 that I'd have a chance to see them play shows.

Wonder if there's any chance of a new album at some point. Sounds like this track was done during the pandemic by just passing around sound files, which doesn't sound like it'd necessarily foment an album-writing impulse, but we can dream. I remain quite fond of Go Away White.

Wish I could do the Boston show, but midweek shows are hard for me to do, living in northern Vermont. Gotta pick and choose which shows I take days off from work for, and I'm already taking a day off the week before for another show. And a midweek show generally means I need to take two days off.
