AUGUST
31 It
turns out that Muzic.com
was correct in their rumors. Bauhausmusik
states:
During
their two day run of sold out shows at the
Riviera Theatre in Chicago last week, Bauhaus
spent the day of Friday August 28th recording at
the Chicago Recording Company. The band worked
on various material but none that they had ever
previously recorded.
Go
and have a look at the official Bauhaus web site,
Bauhausmusik
if you haven't had a chance. It promises to be a
wealth of resources, with a news section which I
highly recommend, photos, merchandising (which will
be revealed soon!), and last but not least, a
newsletter which you can subscribe to. You can
subscribe by emailing telegram-sam@bauhausmusik.com
. Please note that this is NOT a list serve -
rather it is a newsletter that will be official
information and promotions for Bauhaus.
Read
Thomas Pagan's review of the second
Chicago
show! CJ also sent in some pictures from the
Las
Vegas
show, have a peek at 'em.
AUGUST
30 The
venue for the Rochester
show has been changed. The new venue is The Harrow
East Ballroom on 150 Chestnut Street.
Also,
Kelly has pictures of the second San
Francisco
show, check out her link on that page.
The
rest of the European dates should be announced next
week, so please be patient! Note that the UK,
Germany and Japan dates are already listed on the
tour
page link to your left.
AUGUST
29 If
you were paying attention to the beginning of the
first Chicago
cybercast, the announcer reported that Bauhaus was
planning on releasing new material .
Muzic.com
has more on it and also hinted that the time
between Irvine
and Mexico City shows was probably the time to do
the recording.. Personally, I think they were
referring to a live album that will be recorded
during the US tour, but then again, no one asked me
: )
AUGUST
28 Bauhaus
had some impromptu guests join them in
Chicago
for a rendtition of Telegram Sam and All We Ever
Wanted... none other than the Yul Brynner of rock -
Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. Stephen Perkins
from Jane's Addiction also joined in the
performance.
The
Boston
Globe
has an article and interview in anticipation of the
Boston
show happening next week...
The
Bowienet cybercast on August 31 will be shown on
Rolling
Stone
as well. Get prepared for frames every 5
seconds!
AUGUST
27 UPDATE Hope
all you folks that aren't at the Chicago
show, are watching the Rolling
Stone
cybercast! They announced at the beginning of the
cybercast that Bauhaus will be releasing new
material.
Also,
David Bowie will be doing a webcast "party" of
sorts to promote his new ISP Bowienet
on Sunday and will choose two songs from the
Chicago
cybercasts for the party August 31. Be forewarned,
Bauhaus will NOT be the only band on the cybercast
- Ani DiFranco, The Specials and a few others and
selected songs from Bowie's 50th Birthday show at
Madison Square Garden.
Check
out Steve's review of the Minneapolis
show! And booo - a negative review from a local
Denver rag on the Denver
page.
AUGUST
27 Several
additions to concert pages - you can see William's
pictures he took at the first San
Francisco
show through his link on that page. You can also
read Scott's review of the San
Diego
show... turns out that our boy Scott wasn't too
enthused with the crowd there. Finally, Monica has
a review of the Denver
show on her site, again, just go through the
Denver
page link.
AUGUST
26 New
date announced - October 12 in Mexico City, Mexico
at Cine Opera. No word when tickets go on
sale.
Two
more pictures from Victoria for the second
San
Francisco
show - don't you all love the epic concert effect
the pictures have?
AUGUST
25 Bauhaus:
Dark Entries and Beyond by Ian
Shirley
will be published in the US for the first time!
Previously, it was only available as an UK
publication. Amazon
is accepting pre-orders for the release date of
September 1st. If you haven't checked out this
biography about Bauhaus up to 1995, it's worth a
read! Read tantalizing stories of mayhem, madness
and sex behind the scenes... whoops, that's
Backstage Passes by Angie Bowie.
Victoria
sent in some wonderful pictures from the second
San
Francisco
show.... have a look!
Also,
Rolling
Stone and JamTv
are having a contest. Five grand prize winners will
win a Bauhaus autographed prize pack, featuring an
autographed copy of Crackle, and an
autographed poster. Ten first prize winners will
each win a copy of Crackle, and 25 runners
up will win a Bauhaus poster. Don't forget that
there will be a cybercast
of both Chicago
shows. You'll need RealPlayer
5.0
with a minimum of a 28.8 connection to view the
cybercasts.

Let
me remind people that I do not know the
dates for shows that are not linked on this site,
which means I'm not able to provide them at the
moment. So, please kindly refrain from emailing me
and asking if I do know the dates (you can refer to
the FAQ
for further information about this).
Kick
in the Eye had its Elvis moment in
Las
Vegas
as Bauhaus updated it for the Viva Las Vegas crowd.
Great movie by the way... one of Elvis'
best.
AUGUST
21 UPDATE In
case you weren't paying attention (I certainly
wasn't), starting with Tuesday's SF
show, the merchandise vendors starting selling very
limited editions of Bela Lugosi's Dead cd
singles. They are numbered, and as you can see
here,
50 of them were autographed by the band, at least
at San
Diego's
show! They have also added tour programs (Now, I'm
REALLY kicking myself for forcing myself out of the
throng: I thought getting the Warfield freebie
poster was enough).
AUGUST
21 The
official Bauhaus site
that Kevin had mentioned to a fan a while back, is
up but there is only one page at the moment.
Hopefully there will be more information up soon
enough.
AUGUST
20 The
tickets for the UK shows are already on
sale, apparently. The numbers to call
are:
Manchester
Academy - 44 161 832 1111. Tickets are £14.25
including booking fee
Brixton
Academy - 44 171 924 9999 . Tickets are £15.00
including £2.50 booking fee
As
you can see, there are now links for the European
dates. At the moment though, you'll have to click
on the tour
dates
link on your left instead of going to the table
directly below.
The
San
Diego
Union-Tribune
has a brief interview with Danny coinciding with
tonight's San
Diego
show. Also, San Diego "independent" radio station
92.5
FM (The Flash) interviewed both Peter and Danny
earlier today, and played new material from both
Peter's and L&R's new albums.
Beggars
celebrated their 21st birthday last night. Here's a
brief note from the BBC
on last night's festivities. I guess they now can
have a pint in the US. Here's to another 21
years!
AUGUST
19 UPDATE Two
new UK dates announced!They are:
November 6 - Manchester,
England
at the Academy
November 7 - London,
England
at Brixton Academy
Spin
online did a nice interview with both David J and
Peter Murphy last week. Unfortunately, they are
only accessible via AOL. Here's the complete
interview
for your enjoyment.
Also, MTV
has quoted Peter and Danny's pithy thoughts on US
president Clinton's sex scandal. The
San
Francisco
Chronicle
has a good interview with the band from the Sunday
paper.
AUGUST
19 Peter
certainly put the temper back in tempermental: at
the second San
Francisco
show, just prior to Severance, he screamed
"Shut the fuck up!" several times at some hecklers
in the centre. Needless to say, no one dared to
cross his path after that.
Dark
Entries was also added to the set.
Hopefully this one will stay in the setlist, as we
all love it when Peter sings, "Oh please Miss Lane,
leave me with some pain."
The
ISSN number for the September issue of Raygun is:
71486 03510 . It has a very interesting article on
Bauhaus' thoughts on spirituality... check it
out.
AUGUST
18 Although
I did say I wouldn't be mentioning setlists on the
news page, thought I'd tell you all that Burning
From the Inside has been introduced to the set!
But I must say, it was a bit lackluster, after
hearing Telegram Sam and Ziggy
Stardust back to back. Let's see what
tonight's
show holds...
AUGUST
16 An
European fan was at a music festival this weekend
and saw a poster advertising these Bauhaus German
dates:
October
26 - Munich,
Germany
at Colloseum
October 29 - Berlin,
Germany
at Arena
October 30 - Hamburg,
Germany
at Docks
November 2 - Cologne,
Germany
at E-werk
The
number to call for tickets is:040 853 88 853. No
word when tickets go on sale...
We
also have proof from Gilly that Peter does indeed
wear underwear under his oh-so-snug trousers...
check out the photo and more new ones from the
July
12
show in Los Angeles. Jeff Levy sent in his great
review
of that same show.
The
Vancouver
setlist is now up! This will be the last
announcement I'll make about setlists on the news
page; people can just go to that specific page to
see if the setlist is up or not yet.
Raygun,
an American cultural/music/art etc. rag has an
interview with Bauhaus and some new pictures. I
haven't picked it up yet, so I can't provide the
ISSN number for the out of US people to give to
their magazine shops.
I'll
be at the San Francisco shows tomorrow
and Tuesday...
I'll be scoping the line, so if you see me passing
out flyers for umm... a certain site, say howdy. If
you mercifully lost my description from the LA
shows, I'm the dark long-haired gal with platforms
to give my short stature some height and I
honestly don't bite, contrary to popular
opinion.
Last
but not least, There is a tour Frequently
Asked Questions
(F.A.Q) for those of you wondering abut general
information, such as opening acts (none), original
lineup (yes), etc. I seem to be receiving quite a
few queries from people with such
questions.
AUGUST
15 The
second Seattle
setlist is now up. They've now added Telegram
Sam, which makes for a fine song about a
certain web mistress, and hopefully the television
set intro (which was originally used at the 1980
Rock Garden shows in London) will stay in the tour
set.
A
bit of trivia: Both the Troggs' Wild Thing
and The Doors' Riders on the Storm have been
covered by Love & Rockets and Peter Murphy,
respectively, in past concerts.
3
more photos sent in by Gilly for the
July
11th
show in Los Angeles, check them
out.
AUGUST
14 UPDATE The
correct Seattle
setlist is now up! That link also should be working
now. Apparently the Seattle crowd wasn't loud
enough, so the last two songs don't technically
qualify as encores.... Shame, shame. Enjoy
tonight's 2nd Seattle
show, folks.
AUGUST
14 There
is a setlist up for the Seattle
show now. Since everyone seemed to be overcome by
emotion, no one so far got an accurate setlist that
I can see. If you've got it, give it.
AUGUST
13 Oooh,
aren't we all getting first night jitters now? If
you've been living under a rock, tonight is the
very first night of the official tour, and lucky
Seattle
gets that honor! The set list will be up as soon as
someone sends it in to me... hint
hint....
AUGUST
11 UPDATE Three
more pictures sent in by Gilly for the LA
July
10th
show!
Also,
Bauhaus will not be in London for the
Beggars
Banquet
20th anniversary party August 19. The UK folks will
hopefully only have to wait 2 more months -
sorry!
American
MTV
has run a clip on Bauhaus this week. If anyone has
a transcript, please send 'em in (we're
cable-deprived over here).
AUGUST
11 I've
added links for Ultimate
Band List
and the ticket
giveaway
contest they are running on the links
page. If you feel you'd like to have your page
linked on the Resurrection page, please feel free
to email
me.
AUGUST
10 More
information on the Irvine
show: tickets go on sale through Bren
Events Center
(714-824-5000) and through Ticketmaster
Saturday at 12 noon PST. Bren
Events Center
is at University of California at Irvine and is
only minutes away from the John Wayne Airport,
which will be a likely place to spot worn out
people in black travelling to see the last show in
North America.
AUGUST
9 Two
more new dates have been announced!
September
13 - Atlanta,
Georgia
(second show) at the Tabernacle
September 25 - Irvine,
California
at Bren Events Center
The
Irvine show is expected to be the final North
American show. Unfortunately, there will be no
second Philadelphia show.
Tickets
for both dates go on sale August 15.
More
gossip: According to an UK television show ITV,
Beggars Banquet is having their 20th Birthday Party
in London August 19th, and it is rumored that
Bauhaus will play. I think it's nearly, if not
totally unlikely, as they will be in
San
Francisco
the 18th, then headed down to San
Diego
on the 20th.
AUGUST
7 Beggars
Banquet
has posted a wonderful recent studio shot of the
band, check it out!
AUGUST
6 I
surely hope that some venues will be as lax as the
Hollywood Athletic Club when it comes to
picture-taking, because Gilly sent in even more
pictures from the first gig July
9th.
Enjoy!
Not
very newsy, but amusing: Peter apparently took his
two kids to see the wunderkind kiddie band Hanson
in Seattle. No word if Peter will sing back up on
their next album.
AUGUST
5 Two
Japanese shows confirmed! Tickets will go on sale
soon for these dates:
October
16 Osaka,
Japan
- Sankei Hall
October 18 Tokyo,
Japan
- Kokusai Foram A
AUGUST
4 Rumor
has it that Bauhaus will be playing the Olympia in
Paris, France in October. No further information
available.
AUGUST
3 Although
Bauhaus has been dominant in the news online,
there's hardly been any interviews or articles
published in magazines or newspapers. It will come
as a pleasant surprise that Alternative Press, an
US music magazine, have done an interview with the
band for its September issue. There are also some
new pictures taken in conjunction with the
interview. In the case that you would like to get a
hold of it (and don't live in the United States)
and can ask your magazine seller to order it for
you, the ISSN number is 1065 1667.
I'd
also like to add that I don't have any further
specific information on an UK/European, Mexican or
South American tours at the moment. For now, the
only information I know is that an European tour is
planned for October or November and Peter Murphy
had mentioned that Bauhaus will be touring Japan as
well. When and if those shows are announced, I will
post them here.
AUGUST
2 We
now have even more pictures from the Los
Angeles
July 10,
11,
and 12
shows sent in by Kaori and Aya. You might notice on
the July
12
page the car that David J drove into the Palladium
parking lot - now that's what I call a class act
kind of a fellow.
AUGUST
1 A
follow up on the finale show... an unsubstantiated
rumor has it that it will be at the Irvine
Convention Center, and it's still looking like it's
September 25th.
So
far, two sites are running ticket giveaways - I had
mentioned previously that UBL
was doing one (you can select any show that's
confirmed) and it is still up and running,
SF
Sidewalk
is also doing one for the sold-out August
17th show in San
Francisco.
Check
out the Orange
County
Register's
interesting interview with Peter Murphy around the
time of the first Los
Angeles
show.
