The Monday Set: Peter Murphy – Los Angeles – 3/14/11
Earlier this year I caught Peter Murphy at the Mayan here in Los Angeles. It was the first time I had ever been to that venue. It was also the first time I had ever caught Peter Murphy solo. As a long time Bauhaus et al. fan, it was never in the cards for me to see him solo before (More...)
Cold Cave – Love Comes Love/TLOE/Catacombs (Live)
In my younger metal days, I remember hearing about a hardcore band called American Nightmare who had a singer with one hand.

The Monday Set: Bauhaus – Wiesbaden – 11/28/81
For 30 plus (yeah 30!) years, Peter Murphy has been one of the most captivating front-men in show business. I recently took my wife to her first Peter Murphy concert and even though she knew next to nothing about his solo work short of "Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem" she walked away even more captivated by the performance than I did (more...)
