The Success Story of Bauhaus

Who Is Bauhaus?

Bauhaus is an English post-punk band that was formed in 1978 in Northampton, England. The original line-up consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals & guitar), Daniel Ash (guitar & saxophone), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). Their sound was heavily influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Roxy Music and Kraftwerk. With their dark and brooding sound, Bauhaus helped shape the gothic rock genre of music.

The Music of Bauhaus

Bauhaus released four studio albums during their tenure as a band: 'In the Flat Field' (1980), 'Mask' (1981), 'The Sky's Gone Out' (1982) and 'Burning from the Inside' (1983). Their debut single, 'Bela Lugosi’s Dead', was released in 1979 and went on to become one of the most influential songs ever recorded. Other notable songs include 'Dark Entries', 'She's in Parties', 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'Hollow Hills'.

Collaborations & Reunions

Bauhaus were often cited as an influence by other bands, most notably Nine Inch Nails and Joy Division. In 2008, Bauhaus reunited for a series of shows in Europe, which were met with rave reviews. The reunion shows saw the band collaborate with artists such as John Lydon of Public Image Ltd and Siouxsie Sioux.

Legacy

To this day, Bauhaus are considered to be one of the most influential bands of all time. Their distinctive sound has been imitated by countless artists over the years and their influence can still be felt in the music industry today.}
