Peter Murphy Bauhaus 40-year anniversary tour
Iconic front man Peter Murphy will return to Australia this October for the first time since 2013.
Peter Murphy first made his mark fronting influential UK group Bauhaus, who this year celebrate their 40th anniversary. Bauhaus appeared out of the London post-punk scene in 1978 and with their darkly romantic image and brooding songs like Bela Lugosi’s Dead, quickly became the touchstone for the nascent goth movement.
Bauhaus, with Peter Murphy at the helm and David J’s soul wrenching bass, helped take goth mainstream, culminating in an appearance in David Bowie’s 1983 film The Hunger, noted by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll film movie moments of all time. Murphy then set forth on his internationally acclaimed solo career, and his pioneering and long-lasting influence was reinforced when Trent Reznor brought him in as a collaborator and Nine Inch Nails guest in the late 00’s, and when he made a cameo appearance - as The Cold One - in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in 2010.
Peter Murphy will be reunited with David J on this tour and promises a set comprising the classic Bauhaus debut album In The Flat Field plus other brilliant works from the Bauhaus canon which includes such gems as She’s In Parties, Kick In The Eye, Terror Couple Kill Colonel, Hair Of The Dog, The Passion Of Lovers, The Sky’s Gone Out, Telegram Sam, Hollow Hills, Dark Entries, Third Uncle, Spirit, Lagartija Nick, and of course Bela Lugosi’s Dead and their amazing rendition of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust.
