Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured posts about The Clash, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Marc Almond, Peter Murphy, The Sisters of Mercy, Morrissey and Camper Van Beethoven.

Barcelona’s Primavera Sound is underway this weekend in Spain, and one of Friday’s highlights was an appearance by The Jesus and Mary Chain, who brought My Bloody Valentine singer/guitarist Bilinda Butcher up on stage to sing backing vocals on the classic “Just Like Honey.”

Peter Murphy may be out on the road celebrating 35 years of Bauhaus with sets filled entirely by music performed by his old band, but he’s looking forward as well as he works on the follow-up to his 2011 album Ninth, a new record called Lion that’s being produced by Youth and is expected to arrive sometime in early 2014.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we travel back to 1988 for a Kevin Seal-hosted “120 X-Ray” segment on former Soft Cell frontman Marc Almond, who discusses his then-new album The Stars We Are and his next project, Jacques, which would be released in 1989.

For this week’s installment of Vintage Video, we present an early U.S. performance by The Sisters of Mercy in the form of this full 50-minute set filmed at Chicago’s Exit Club on April 15, 1984. The show comes nearly a year before the release of the Sisters’ debut album First and Last and Always.
