Peter Murphy’s Bauhaus Adventure

Celebrating 35 years of the band he helped form with Daniel Ash and David J. in 1978, Murphy’s return to the post-punk gothic years of Bauhaus honors the band that flashed way to briefly before breaking up in 1983.  Since then, Bauhaus has reformed twice – 1998 and 2005.  Although Murphy has kept the spirit alive by incorporating the material into his own solo shows, the upcoming tour taking its name from the band’s “Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?” marks the first time he’ll play nothing but Bauhaus.

“Since 2006, I have included my Bauhaus work into my solo work as a way of tipping my hat to my own audience … those who discovered my early work as well as new and old fans of those years strong wishes to hear the music of my band crackle and spark in the live arena,” Murphy said.  “Being the foremost advocate of this Bauhaus work, I decided the time was ripe to at last give a pure Bauhaus experience in one Mr. Moonlight world tour.  Mr Moonlight is alive and well, don’t doubt it.”
