I just read that Bauhaus has a new record coming out next April, but that’s the last thing that they are going to do. No more touring, no more new songs, nothing else. I’m not really excited about the prospect of a new record, and I’m glad they are done with touring because whenever they go on a long string of dates, David J leaves town. When they aren’t on tour, he’s here in Southern California, playing live shows, doing DJ appearances, etc. I would much rather see him solo than Bauhaus any day. This song is off the rejected mix of “Mask” and never got a proper release on the final record. Too bad since it’s a great song.

Peter Murphy is without a doubt the most talented member of Bauhaus, and Bauhaus as a whole is definitely better than any of the members solo, though Peter Murphy does the best solo work.
