Bauhaus Resurrection News - July 98

 

JULY 31 UPDATE Several people spotted in the Orange County Register (Orange County, California) that "...Also rumoured to be coming to Irvine Meadows is a Sept. 25 Bauhaus show, perhaps as a finale to the reunited band's minitour of the States."This date would be the the last show on the North American tour. Apparently Irvine Meadows holds 14,000 people, so I think having a show there would be highly unlikely, considering Bauhaus has been playing mid-sized venues of 3,000-4,000 capacity. Los Angeles or its surroundings is still a possibility for a finale show though. 

JULY 31 We're in for a lull until the first Seattle show, but Steven Holland sent in an advert for the Orlando show ticket promotion last night, which you can find on that page. They also were handing out promotional stickers for Crackle, which you can see here. Shannymonster also checked with the Hard Rock Hotel security to see what their rules are for the Joint show.

Over the weekend, we'll be putting up more pictures from the LA shows, so check back then.

JULY 30 There will be another limited ticket sale (100 tickets) for the St. Petersburg show. This time it will take place at The Castle in Tampa at midnight July 31st. The rest of the tickets will go on sale as usual at Ticketmaster August 1st.

JULY 29 Not much in the way of news other than Houston ticket sales have changed from the 1st of August to the 8th and the Mesa show from August 1 to July 31. As a reminder, all Florida shows go on sale August 1, as well as Rochester. Tickets for Dallas is still on sale August 7th, as far as I know.

JULY 28 UPDATE When I said limited, I meant limited! There will be only 200 tickets sold at the Sapphire Supper Club on July 30 for the Orlando show.

We only have one more date left to be scheduled for the North American tour, then it's off to Europe! 

JULY 28 Apologies for the Peter-centric news as of late, but both MTV and Muzic.com have reported that the new songs off of Recall features a remixed version of "Indigo Eyes" and "Roll Call" which will be "Roll Call-Recall" and two new songs named "Surrendered" which has Peter's Arabic teacher Shengul singing on it, and "Big Love of a Tiny Fool" - an autobiographical song. All of these songs have both Turkish and electronica influences mixed in. He will start working on his new album at the conclusion of the Bauhaus tour and hopefully will have the album out by early 1999.

Also, it appears that the Sapphire Supper Club people will be selling tickets for the Orlando show on the 30th, and not the 31st, as earlier reported. Any left over tickets will be sold on the 31st. Please note that you will be able to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster on August 1 for the Orlando show.

JULY 27 UPDATE We now have pictures from the Palladium shows on July 10 and 12! These pictures were contributed by Gilly, whose work some of you may be familiar with from the David Bowie web site, Teenage Wildlife.

There is now a direct link to CDNow to purchase Bauhaus cds on your left. You can also buy other cds through this link. Please help support the maintenance of this site by making your purchases through the Resurrection Tour page link to CDNow

JULY 27 Several people have told me that tickets for the Boston show are still available through Next ticket agency. Also, check out some of the venues' websites, like Harborlights, the 9.30 Club , the Aerial Theatre and a venue that I enjoyed last year, Electric Factory . If there are other venues that people should be aware of their websites, please let me know.

Tickets for the Rochester show go on sale August 1.

Also, quite a few queries have come in regarding whether there will be an opening act for the Bauhaus tour. I'm glad to tell everyone that there will be NO opening act, so be prepared if the band decides to start on time.

JULY 26 Ticketmaster has another show listed on their site for September 1 in Rochester, NY at The Armory, which presumably replaces the second Detroit show. No further information is given as to when tickets go on sale. I also checked to see what tickets were still available online for the US shows, and it appears that almost all the shows listed were still available. This list includes:

8/13 Seattle, WA
8/14
Seattle ,WA
8/20
San Diego, CA
8/26
Minneapolis, MN
8/29
Cleveland, OH
8/31
Detroit, MI
9/08
Philadelphia, PA
9/10
New York, NY
9/11
New York, NY
9/14
Atlanta, GA
9/20
New Orleans, LA 

JULY 24 2 more dates confirmed, folks! We now have:

9/22 Dallas, TX - Bronco Bowl
9/24
Mesa, AZ - Mesa Amphitheatre

Tickets for the Dallas show go on sale August 7, while Mesa will go on sale August 1, along with the other Florida and Houston shows.

For those of you who aren't making it to the shows, Rolling Stone announced that there will be a live webcast from the Chicago shows (yes, both of them!) August 27th and 28th.

Also, the promoters for the Orlando show will be selling very limited tickets for that show at the Sapphire Supper Club on July 31st. The address is 54 North Orange Avenue in Orlando. Tickets will go on sale at 9 pm and you *must* be 18 or over. You can also register to win a pair of tickets and a Bauhaus box set.

JULY 23 Coming at you a little late, but gasp, gasp... Peter will be putting out a 6 song EP called Recall recorded in 6 days as early as end of August according to SonicNet. Recall is being co-produced by members of KMFDM. Peter seems to have abandoned LA in haste for Seattle (if you spot him, let us know and we'll send out a squad to retrieve and deliver him to sing to us day and night). They also report that European dates are being scheduled, contrary to earlier speculation that they were going to concentrate on working on promoting/recording their respective albums. Thanks to the Sweetest Drop page for picking up on the article so quickly. 

JULY 22 UPDATE Tickets for Atlanta go on sale this Saturday. They are priced at $29.50 amd will be available through Ticketmaster at (404) 249-6400.

JULY 22 Some of the upcoming tour dates will be recorded and filmed for a possible release. It looks like Chicago and New York might the lucky dates.

JULY 21 4 more shows confirmed!! We now have these for your enjoyment:

9/16 Sunrise, FL - Sunrise Musical Theatre
9/17
St. Petersburg, FL - Mahaffey Theatre
9/18
Orlando, FL - Bob Carr Performing Arts Center (Ed. note: Hey, that's my birthday!)
9/21
Houston, TX - Aerial Theatre at Bayou Place

All tickets go on sale August 1.

Unfortunately, there will be no second Detroit show.... so enjoy the one and only show in Motor City.

Tickets for the second DC show go on sale later this week.

 JULY 20 A very reliable source states that there will be 8 more shows announced soon. Keep watching this space!

JULY 19 A fan who saw Kevin and Danny at the Creatures show at the Palace in LA earlier this week spoke with Kevin and gleaned several bits of information from him. Apparently, Kevin had done the soundtrack for "The Prom" which appeared a few years ago on the Showtime channel. They (as in Bauhaus) also are very surprised by the overwhelming response to the sold out shows and this is what prompted them to do schedule more tour dates. And last, but not least, there is an official Bauhaus site in the works.

Also, a Japanese fan who met the band in LA reported on the [Cascade] list that Bauhaus plans on touring Tokyo and Osaka in September, which would mean the very end of the month.

 JULY 18 Amusingly enough, in the past 2 days all the major music internet sites have received the same press release stating that Bauhaus is announcing a North American tour. The press release also states that that they have no plans to record a new album, L&R are preparing for the release of Lift in October and Peter Murphy is recording for a new album due out early 1999. The only addendum that I hadn't heard before was L&R's new single will be Rip 20 C which features remixes by Rabbit in the Moon. No release date on it yet.

JULY 17 UPDATE The venue for both of the Seattle shows (August 13 and 14) has been changed from the Moore Theatre to the Paramount Theatre. The Paramount is a larger venue and therefore additional tickets are available for purchase at 10:00 A.M. Saturday morning (tomorrow!). Previously purchased tickets will be honored for admission to the general admission sections. Additional tickets to be sold will include a limited amount of GA tickets as well as reserved seating for the balcony.

The New Orleans show on September 20 has tickets going on sale Saturday July 25 at 10 A.M. through TicketMaster. Tickets will be general admission by section (pit, orchestra and balcony). The venue itself will sell any remaining tickets on Monday the 27th. 

JULY 17 Reminders:

Tickets for the Denver show will go on sale Monday the 20th through Ticketchoice. The number is 1(800)517-7328.
Tickets for
Minneapolis go on sale Saturday the 18th at noon.
Tickets for
Boston go on sale Saturday the 18th at 10:00 am.

Several people emailed me and said that they were upset that I had posted about the Craze's show the other day at the HAC. I put it in quotes to denote that it may not be THE band. I had heard rumors to the effect that it may be them peforming, so I posted it. If there was any confusion, I apologize for it. I must also say that this site is unofficial, which means I post confirmed AND unconfirmed rumors. If, in the event that it was Bauhaus, I would have heard that I should have posted this information, but alas, there's no pleasing everybody. So, before getting on an airplane (I hope no one did that), please reconfirm information, if it still uncertain. 

JULY 16 UPDATE 3 more cities announced! 2 of my predictions have come true so far, and more's on the way....

August 23 at the Salt Air in Salt Lake City
September 14 at the Tabernacle in
Atlanta
September 20 at the State Palace Theatre in
New Orleans

Tickets for the
Salt Lake City show goes on sale Monday July 20 at 10 am at all SmithTix outlets. Information on other shows will be forthcoming.

There will be shows until September 27th and then the tour ends October, I'm assuming, in Japan. Still nothing about Europe though.

If you noticed Nashville earlier, it was a mistake. I'm still having problems from this weekend. Hmph.

JULY 16 Contrary to speculation, The Craze of 1998 is not the same as The Craze from 1978 (the progenitors of Bauhaus). Last night's show at Hollywood Athletic was not a secret show for our favorite band, so you didn't miss anything! Turns out that Gene Loves Jezebel cancelled out as well.

(JULY 15 UPDATE) Just so you don't have to fork up money for a ticket, Ultimate Band List, aka UBL is having a ticket contest for any Bauhaus show that they have listed. All you have to do is register (and give them legit info or else you won't win tickets!) Go to UBL for more information.

Also there is a site that has pictures of one of the nights this weekend. It's difficult to tell which night it is, and the pictures aren't very high resolution, but what the hey, check it out.

(JULY 15) Whew, the DC shows are now confirmed. Shows as in plural: there are two shows scheduled at the 9.30 Club, September 6 and it looks like the 7th as well (though that's not confirmed at the mo'). Tickets go on sale tomorrow (July 16) at 10 am and they're $25. This means two shows are on sale then - Toronto and Washington DC. The numbers to call for the DC shows are:

(703)573-SEAT (Nova)
(202)432-SEAT (Washington DC)
(410)481-SEAT (Baltimore)
1-800-551-SEAT (Outside of the Maryland/DC area)

"The Craze" are playing tonight at Hollywood Athletic, but keep in mind that this may be a hoax. If this is the real thing, well, let's just hope it is - enjoy the show.

The next thing I say and please keep this in mind for all and any shows you may attend is to drink a lot of water. It is neccessary and will keep you from getting dehydrated. I know I'm sounding like a nagging mother, but after my experience Friday night and having been in the heat all day then, I probably would have survived the show a little better if I had more water. And gin and tonics don't count as clear hydrating liquid, folks.

(JULY 14) More and more updates as I write! Strange, but Ticketmaster has added a second Philadelphia show on September 12, the night after the 2nd NY show. If they take it down, I'll swear that someone is playing tricks on me over there. There also seems to be a switch or cancellation of dates for the DC show, as Ticketmaster Canada has a second Toronto show scheduled for the September 3, which also is the same day as the DC show (Pollstar still lists DC). A second Detroit show is still confirmed, at least through Beggars Banquet, but no one else seems to have information on it. It's staying unconfirmed until I hear otherwise. Hmph. Latest ticket information listed below:

Second Toronto go on sale July 16 at 10 am.
San Diego go on sale this Friday at 4 pm.
Boston go on sale this Saturday at 10 am.

Hopefully the Washington DC show will be reinstated on another day.... and more shows will be announced. However... a BIG however, it looks like a special surprise for those of you still in LA and recovering from $6 plastic cup drinks... Seems that "The Craze" are due to play this week at our favorite venue, Hollywood Athletic Club with old time gothsters Gene Loves Jezebel, who, incidentally, opened for Bauhaus way back when. If some of you are going to the show, we are demanding a full report. But of course.

My favorite phrase coming up... "Last but not least," the links pages are still connected, but they're also on the news index page. There is a link to LaLune's and Rene Weber's page Bauhaus: Project Resurrection where people can meet up in various cities for hotel, pre- and post-show information and so forth.

Our first fan contributed review comes from Scott Brown. who wrote an extremely descriptive and amusing review of Friday night's show at the Palladium!

The site will be going into a little overhaul this weekend as we try and attempt to configure to your exact needs, and 34D ain't one of them.

(JULY 13 UPDATE) New show announced! September 8th in Philadelphia at the Electric Factory. Tickets go on sale July 17 at 10 am. Tickets are available through the Electric Factory box office or through Ticketmaster. You can also call Electric Factory to inundate them with calls at 215- LOVE222.

(JULY 13) Home sweet home. As the truly Trusty Assistant reported, I did get injured Friday night, but let's keep the whinging down, shall we? I met quite a few of you out there, and unfortunately missed a ton of people. I decided to forgo leather on a hot LA Saturday after my episode Friday night, so if you missed me then, I'll be at the San Diego, both San Francisco and both New York shows.

Now back to the program here - I'll be posting reviews from people on this site, as well as posting links as to where you can find reviews on other sites. Currently, I have links for different reviews for the Friday and Saturday shows (Just look for the symbol).

Also, the second Detroit show seems not to be happening. As soon as I posted that Ticketmaster has the second show listed, they immediately took the link down. So, for now, it's unconfirmed, unless someone tells me otherwise.

Bad news for Europeans and South Americans. According to the Beggars Banquet site, they report:

Unfortunately the South American dates have been cancelled (something about the world Cup) but there is still a possibility of dates in Japan. However, there will NOT be any dates in Europe since this reunion has to end in September so that Love And Rockets can start promoting their new album.

I don't think things will change, as David J said in a recent interview that Love and Rockets would be promoting Lift when it comes out in October.

(JULY 12) Trusty Assistant reporting... Saturday night's show added Passion of Lovers to the setlist, but omitted Mask and All We Ever Wanted. Each night's setlist changes a little, and doesn't correspond to the printed version which is up on stage. Two songs which appear on the optional portion of the printed setlist, but which haven't been played yet are Spy In The Cab, Spirit and Swing The Heartache.

(JULY 11) Trusty Assistant reporting... Tonight's show was bristling with energy, becoming very violent on the main floor with pushing from all directions. Your favorite webmistress located front and center ended up passing out and having to be rescued by security after only five songs. To add insult to injury, she was kicked in the head and poked in the eye (losing her contact lens) as security lifted her out of the melee. Thus there is no first-hand report of the show, so feel free to leave comments, reviews about the show etc on the
Palladium July 10th concert page.

Samantha will be watching tonight's show from the safety of a front row VIP table.

(UPDATE JULY 10) Hollywood Athletic Club show gets off to a late start - they took the stage at 10.15 pm, and the setlist is listed below!

  1. Double Dare
  2. In the Flat Field
  3. God In An Alcove
  4. Hollow Hills
  5. Silent Hedges
  6. Boys
  7. She's In Parties
  8. Sanity Assassin
  9. Kick In The Eye
  10. Encore: Bela Lugosi' Dead

Last, but not least, your favorite webmistress (No, not Asia Carrera!) will be at the Palladium shows Friday and Saturday. If you see a "vertically challenged" long haired brunette wearing something to the effect of leather pants, t-shirt or tank top depending on the heat that day, and passing out flyers, just say hello. I don't bite... hard, as my man Austin Powers would say. My trusty assistant will be updating the site while I'm gone, so do send in the setlists/reviews if you like.

(3rd UPDATE July 9) 2nd Detroit show added! Someone directed me to the Ticketmaster site and it lists September 1, again at the State Theatre. No further information, unfortunately, on when the tickets go on sale. I assume that they will probably go on sale when the first show does, or on the same day thereabouts.


(2nd UPDATE July 9) For those of you who were wondering where the "Joint" was in Las Vegas, it's at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (When I was there last year, I was wondering how many Jon Bon Jovi spandex pants can they possibly have there?). Another update on the Cleveland show: Ticket prices are $27.50 reserved, $22.50 general admission - go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. As for tonight's show at the Hollywood Athletic, let us not forget that this is Bauhaus' first public appearance in exactly 15 years and 4 days. If you haven't heard the final show, it's available on a Beggars Banquet/NEMO-distributed cd called "Rest In Peace".

 

(UPDATE July 9) Clarification on the Boston show on the Cascade email list: the tickets aren't sold at Harbor Lights until the DAY of the show, but they do use the Orpheum box office. The convenience ticket agency that is used rather than Ticketmaster is NEXT, which can be reached by calling 617-423-NEXT.


I know that a lot of people are concerned that Bauhaus haven't scheduled a show nearby your town, but it looks as if it will be 5-7 more cities that they will play in the US and Canada. I'm predicting in my magic 8-Ball that it'll likely be Atlanta, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Phoenix, Dallas and Miami. Please, please, please don't take my word for it, as I'm just making my predictions based on geographics! As for the rest of the world (it's a big world out there), I can only refer to what Beggars said and that was Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. However, someone on the Cascade list who had a recent encounter with Peter Murphy did recount that they might play Japan.

 

(NEW July 8) KROQ (LA "alternative rock" station) will be giving away tickets tomorrow every minute starting at 12 noon PST for a "secret" KROQ Bauhaus show. Could it be.... the Hollywood Athletic Club show? It's so secret that you, me and my mother (and she does know) seemed to have known weeks ago that this show was going to happen. If you're going, send that setlist in and give me a glowing review of the show, okay? I never said I was unbiased, did I?


( 2nd UPDATE July 8) Ticket sales for confirmed shows are as follows (taken from various emails):

  • Las Vegas go on sale July 11 at 2 pm, ticket prices are $35, $32, and $27
  • Boston go on sale July 18 ; apparently Ticketmaster isn't handling tickets for this show, so tickets will be available at Harbor Lights or by calling their ticket agency at 617-423-6000 .
  • Cleveland go on sale July 11 at 10 am, no further information.
  • Minneapolis go on sale July 18, tickets prices are $28.50, $32.50 and $45.50. ($45.50!?!)
  • Detroit will go on sale July 10 at 10 am.
  • Denver is likely to be July 11 at 1 pm.
  • DC people will probably have to wait until next week.

I haven't been able to find out about the San Diego show, so if anyone has information on it, please let me know.


(NEW July 7) Have we got more show listings for you folks or what? Someone emailed me and I checked out Pollstar to find out that 6 more shows have been announced! They are as follows:

  • August 20 at Golden Hall in San Diego, California
  • August 21 at Joint in Las Vegas, Nevada
  • August 24 at Mammoth Events Center in Denver, Colorado
  • August 26 at State Theatre in Minneapolis/St.Paul, Minnesota
  • August 29 at Nautica Stage in Cleveland, Ohio
  • September 3 at 9:30 Club in Washington, DC

(NEW July 7) New show confirmed! September 5 at Harbor Lights in Boston, Massachusetts. Tickets are expected to go on sale this weekend.

(UPDATED July 7) Taken from the Peter Murphy [Cascade] e-mail list regarding the Hollywood Athletic Club show July 9th: "A friend in the biz informed me that there will be 200 tickets available for sale at $50 per ticket."Ed.note: If you're one of the lucky folks going, you'll be mingling with 600 of Bauhaus' friends and family (the capacity is 800). (2nd Update July 7) Okay, I did a boo-boo about Ticketmaster not selling tickets for the Hollywood Athletic gig. I received several emails saying that tickets were available via Ticketmaster. If there's any left, go get them!!


(UPDATED July 6) Two new shows confirmed! August 31st at the State Theatre in Detroit, Michigan and September 2nd at the Warehouse in Toronto, Canada! Tickets for the Toronto show go on sale Friday July 10, and they are priced at CD$35.00. I don't have any further information on the Detroit tickets, but if you hear about it soon, let me know.

I've created a
links page, so people can see other Bauhaus and related pages. If you have a page that you'd like to see linked via this one, please send an email to me at samantha@etete.com

Akicita has created Bauhaus t-shirts in M-XL for $15 and XXL for $17, plus a buck or two for postage. To see the scans of the t-shirts,
go here. He's only made limited quantities and will be out of town prior to this weekend, so order from him relatively quickly.

Last, but not least, I'm hoping that people will be able to take some pictures this weekend, if the Palladium security don't notice your camera stashed somewhere godknowswhere. Also, if you'd like to submit reviews of the show, please send them along to me. As for me, I'll be wilting in the heat somewhere up front of the shows.
