Tuesday August 31, 1999 Wondering what's on the turntable (vinyl and cd) in David's living room? Check out his latest listens in David's room (only found in the haus). Also, if you didn't read the last newsletter carefully enough, you may want to go back and peruse the bottom of the newsletter - an infamous technophobe will make his presence known on Bauhausmusik in the upcoming weeks... Stay tuned for more fun and games. Thursday August 26, 1999 To celebrate the 20th. Anniversary of 'Bela's Dead' and the new release of 'Gotham' On Sunday October 31st. 1999, a Bauhaus Convention (the first ever!) will take place at the Gladstone Hotel, Lord Nelson Street, Liverpool, England. The venue is a 2 minute walk from the main train station and 3 minutes from the main bus station in Liverpool. Parking is also available at the hotel. Accommodation can be arranged if necessaary for the night before or after the event. A charge of £3 will be made at the door to cover the cost of the hall and advertising. Fifty framed items will be on display along with an exhibition of around forty posters. The items on display will be mostly extremely rare (autographed items, acetates, award discs, foreign releases...etc). RARE Bauhaus video footage will also be played. Free BELA ANNIVERSARY Bau-goodies will be given to all attendees and there will no doubt be a few surprises in typical spontaneous Bauhaus fashion! Any questions or comments? Send email: bauhaus@england.com     Saturday August 21, 1999 We heard from many of you in regards to Peter and his family and how they're coping with the earthquake that occurred on Tuesday late night in Turkey. We thank you all for your calls and messages expressing your concern for Peter. He is fine. We commiserate with everyone in Turkey during this crisis, and our thoughts are with them all. If you would like to help with the relief effort in Turkey please visit the following links: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies American Red Cross Disaster Relief Doctors Without Borders On another note, we have the release dates for Gotham, the live album from the Resurrection tour! The cd release dates are as follows: Japan - October 20, 1999 - distributed by Jade Music Europe - November 8, 1999 - distributed by KK Records USA - November 9, 1999 - distributed by Metropolis Records All three cds will be available through Bauhausmusik and we will accept pre-orders soon (note: NOT now). The Japanese cd will be an extra-collectible to look out for; it will be an enhanced cd with exclusive video, a promo trailer and interviews with the band. Don't say you didn't hear it here first! Thursday August 19, 1999 A message from the drummer: Kevin and David will be treading the boards once again, (you can't keep a good rhythm section down!) with none other than The Jazz Butcher. Due to popular demand, The Jazz Butcher, along with original partners in crime, Max Eider and Owen Jones will be doing a mini tour of North America in September. It appears as though each person involved will be performing a few solo numbers, and for the big finale, will come together as the Jazz Butcher Group to bang out such classics as Partytime, Just like Betty Page, Girls Who Keep Goldfish, Bigfoot Motel, Take The Skinheads Bowling and of course The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula! For those of you who have recently just crawled out from under the proverbial rock, The Jazz Butcher grew out of the same disturbed, small town culture of Northampton, that also spawned Bauhaus. As big JB admirers, both Kevin and David played on various releases, and David actually "joined" the group whilst Daniel and Kevin were involved with Tones On Tail. In consideration of public safety, these are definitely "one off events" and should not be missed! The dates (subject to change) are as follows: Thursday 9th September -Troubadour, Los Angeles, CA Saturday 11th September - The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, CA Monday 13th September - Pan, Portland, OR Wednesday 15th September - Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, WA Thursday 23rd September - Wetlands, New York, NY It is not confirmed that Kevin and David will be playing at all of the shows, so if this is of concern to you, it is best to check with the promoter or venue. [Ed. note: David will be at the LA show only]       Tuesday August 17, 1999 If you read the Yahoo! chat some months ago when Love and Rockets were on tour, you may have seen that David mentioned working on his own website. Well, it's the new improved "Your World is My World" David J site. Immerse yourself and frolick in David's world. << Last month's news| Archive >> Need to get in touch with the webmistress?
