Peter Murphy
Bauhaus 40 year Ruby anniversary
Performing In The Flat Field in full
Featuring special guest - Bauhaus bass guitarist David J
DRW Entertainment is proud to present the return of iconic front man Peter Murphy to Australasia for the first time since 2013.
Murphy first made his mark up front of 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 the David J penned “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 Bauhaus works such as “She’s In Parties”, “Kick In The Eye”, “The Passion Of Lovers” and of course “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” and their amazing rendition of David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust”.
