feelin' all retro
ok, ok, ok Bauhaus are are touring the US later in the year. Man, I'd love to see them, you have no idea. For those who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, Bauhaus were the godfathers of Goth music in the late 70's early 80's. And before you say anyhting, yes I know it is also a school of architecture.
Years ago I saw Peter Murphy play (at the Vic I think) and he just rocked.
At one point it the show the stage went dark except for one spotlight just above the mic at centre stage. Murphy saunted up to the mic, tipped his head to one side and said, 'Vigin Mary was tired', then the stage went black. (that's the first line from 'Rose Garden Funeral of Sores', a Bauhaus song). The audience just went off. Screaming, yelling, jumping up and down, etc. The stage lights came back on, after what seemed like 10 minutes in the dark with a crowd of insane fans, Murphy just laughed that laugh that only he can do and went into some other song.
what a tease.
but a good tease.
I really really wish I could see one of these shows. Maybe they will come down with the Big Day Out tour in January. Maybe? One can hope...Until then I just bust out with 79-83. (thanks for the heads up Done Waiting)

Ack. 11/25 at the House of Blues. I'm 10 minutes away from there! I will be keeping my eyes and ears out for those tickets to go on sale!

On the Bauhaus web site I saw that they are doing some online presales for tix to a few of the shows. That might be a way to ensure you get one. Keep me posted.
