Peter Murphy announces ‘final run’ of ‘Ninth’ tour dates in western U.S., New York

Former Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy will wrap up his extensive touring in support of 2011’s Ninth with “a final run of intimate shows” in the western U.S. this August — including a previously announced club gig in Hollywood as part of the Sunset Strip Music Festival — plus one last show in New York.

The new run of dates, which follow a smattering of California concerts this past spring, beign Aug. 9 in Portland, Ore., and wrap up Aug. 26 in Brooklyn, with stops in Washington state, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and California in between (see full dates below).

Tonight, Murphy opens a short run of South American dates, with concerts planned in Argentina, Chile and Colombia. However, a July 6 show planned for Sao Paulo, Brazil, has been canceled because, according to Murphy’s website, Brazil was closed its embassies worldwide due to strikes in that country, and visa applications aren’t being processed.
