If you’ve ever gone looking for live footage of Tones on Tail — Daniel Ash’s and Kevin Haskins’ post-Bauhaus, pre-Love and Rockets project — you know what a black hole that is. Which is why it’s so thrilling to see Glenn Campling, the band’s bassist, sharing rare live footage of the trio performing in Scotland in 1984.
Bauhaus today added a second concert at the Hollywood Palladium after tickets for the band’s surprise comeback sold out in minutes — a pair of shows that the band’s frontman Peter Murphy will follow up in January with rescheduled New York City dates he’d been forced to cancel last month after suffering a heart attack.
Goth-rock legends Bauhaus will reunite for their first concert in 13 years this November, a performance that comes after the band seemingly had split into competing camps in recent years, with bassist David J touring with frontman Peter Murphy and guitarist Daniel Ash teaming up with drummer Kevin Haskins as Poptone.
Peter Murphy released a statement Friday saying he has fully recovered from his recent heart attack, and thanking the doctors who got him “up and running again” and credited his tour manager and assistant with being “directly instrumental in saving my life.” Full details right here.
Peter Murphy remains hospitalized in New York City after suffering a heart attack this week, which has forced the former Bauhaus frontman to scrub the remaining five dates of his 12-concert residency in that city, his publicists announced Wednesday. Full details right here.
Peter Murphy fans in San Francisco who’ve repeatedly endured delays and rescheduling of the singer’s long-promised residency will get yet another chance to see him with the announcement of what appears to be a final U.S. date on his Bauhaus 40th anniversary tour with David J.
Peter Murphy will cap off his highly anticipated two-week San Francisco residency with a just-announced final show that’ll see the former Bauhaus frontman paying tribute to the late David Bowie by performing a selection of songs from the Thin White Duke’s legendary catalog. See full details right here.
