"Last night Peter Murphy had a meltdown at the gig in Stockholm (Nalen).
Annoyed at a small sector of the crowd ignoring his show he was apparently throwing bottles at the audience one of which landed on the mixing desk which broke it and ended the concert after 2/3 of the gig. Following this there was an altercation with the security at the venue which saw him thrown out of the venue."

There's something...weird in realizing they're announcing this reunion to take place in the spot where they played the first reunion shows in 1998. Double nostalgia.
Double nostalgia excitement!

Crazy to think that more time elapsed since that first reunion than between that and their initial split

More and more I appreciate the sweet innocence of this being called what it is when it was released in 1992:

Anyway so they're still back together and they have a new song and they've pulled the ol' "1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash" trick again. And you know, why not?

Their North American tour has been canceled. Peter Murphy has checked himself into rehab "to attend to his health and well-being."
Disappointing, to say the least.

Was just coming here to post that
After rehab maybe they can tour

So for the Pop Conference this year I had some thoughts, at least in terms of archiving and legacy

Great stuff. Still getting over the white and black albums bit. Ha!
The vinyl 1979-1983 version was something my then girlfriend introduced me to and that really ignited my Bauhaus love, having previously only heard the hit singles. Really interesting to hear that over there a lot of people found Bauhaus through their Love & Rockets fandom.

I came to the band at an odd time, circa Burning from the Inside, which is still my favorite. We used to play it at the record store I worked at near closing time. It was pretty good at clearing the store.

'she's in parties' is a highly recommended gothdub. i like that album; good bridge to tones on tail.

honestly Burning is my fave album overall

(of theirs)
my intro was The Sky's Gone Out upon release, I did not really know what to make of it. then I heard that green 4AD EP of the early singles and I got it.

Haha. It struck me out of nowhere and as I'm now thoroughly sick of the Beatles Industrial Complex I decided to include it.

Oh absolutely the case. Bauhaus had zero chart presence at the time, even though over here for the third and fourth albums they ended up on of all labels A&M. (Perhaps not too surprising given the Police and a sense that they could have a new wave thing going -- they had the Cure at the same time too! A&M was almost an arch-goth label!) But Love & Rockets really clicked over here in LA -- I like to think both the Bauhaus tours and the one Tones on Tail one here created enough of a fanbase that when L&R started really connecting on both college radio and stations like KROQ by the time 1986 rolled around, them going Top 40 with "No New Tale To Tell," along with the MTV boost thanks to the video, made absolute sense. That's how I learned about them and by the time of early 1989 with "So Alive" in the near offing -- I think the "Motorcyle" single had already caught my attention as well -- I heard enough stories about 'this band called Bauhaus,' as well as learning a bit about Peter Murphy (Love Hysteria had been a notable college/KROQ era hit thanks to "All Night Long" in particular), that I started to backtrack a bit. The white/black comps were easily available on import CD as well as a number of the albums -- Sky's and Burning got A&M CDs but I waited until I could get the UK versions with the extra tracks -- and the Peel Sessions comp Swing the Heartache came out shortly afterward as well.

Neds 100% right in regards to L&R and that history is my history, can't wait to watch this.
My order:
In the Flat Field (1980)Mask (1981)The Sky's Gone Out (1982)Burning from the Inside (1983)

You slave to chronology or something.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 March 2024 04:24 (one month ago) link
Hardly but for Bauhaus albums, absolutely. Burning from the Inside doesn't have enough Peter Murphy and therefore the worst.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 14 March 2024 04:31 (one month ago) link
thanks Ned. Very interesting.
i think I'd go for the same order as Bee OK.
