SEPTEMBER 30 Laura emailed me to remind me that the name of the Irish melody Peter sang in Irvine is called "Maids When You're Young." You can find the lyrics at this chivalric site. And even more people had to point out to me (I'm starting to be convinced I was at a different show for not noticing!) that Peter sang a few verses of David Bowie's Lady Stardust during She's In Parties. In the upcoming days, I'll be adding more pictures (my own!) for New York and Irvine, reviews, etc. If you've got reviews for the US shows to be added (or need to remind me to put yours up), email me to do so. Also, a slight follow up to the Bela mispressings - Dark Entries is still the second song on the mispressed cds, so it's just the first and third songs that are reversed. SEPTEMBER
28 Home
finally and totally, completely knackered (no one
to blame but me for not getting to sleep until 5 am
Saturday morning)... the Irvine
show was a great way to close out the US leg of the
Resurrection tour - with the band joining in to
sing the Irish song (still can't recall what it is)
dedicated to Peter's sis Daphne. The band is
getting geared up for the next part of the tour,
which begins in Mexico
City Finally, collectors out there will be interested to know that the first 1,000 pressings of the signed limited edition Bela Lugosi's Dead CD being sold on tour were mispressed. The play order on CDs numbered 1 through 1000 has Boys followed by Bela Lugosi's Dead, whereas the correct order should have been Bela Lugosi's Dead followed by Boys. The CDs were sold on the tour in no specific order (but they're all sold out) so if you were one of the lucky ones to get an edition numbered in the first thousand, expect it to be worth more than the $25 you paid for it. SEPTEMBER
26 Trusty
Assistant Reporting In other concert news, a second show has been added in London at the Brixton Academy on November 8th. Tickets are already on sale for £15. SEPTEMBER 24 We have a new addition to the site - if you take a peek to your left, you'll see that you can now view the Undertaker's Journal. There's four listings at the moment, and it will be continually updated, provided that the Undertaker doesn't get too busy playing around in the graveyard. CDNow is automatically taking $5.00 off any purchase until September 30, in addition to their 30% storewide sale so if you haven't purchased Crackle yet, it's time to do so. Don't forget that Irvine is the very last US show of the tour. I'll be attending the show, so see you there. SEPTEMBER 23 Rocktropolis reports that DJ Keoki remixed the title track of Lift and that Danny "is returning the favor by taking part in a project that Keoki is orchestrating called International Crisis -- an intended supergroup for the year 2000 modeled on George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic." Does this mean that Danny will start wearing star-shaped sunglasses and will be seen in impromptu jams with Bootsy Collins? SEPTEMBER 22 Raven Mae has sent in a different sort of a review - an elegiac poem of the Boston show. SEPTEMBER 21 Last night's performance in New Orleans was unusual in that Bauhaus played Ziggy Stardust twice - I guess the kids couldn't kill the band the first time around. For those of you in the Lyon, France area, Beyhan Murphy (Peter's wife) is the artistic director of the Modern Dance Company of Turkey and there will be two performances by them tomorrow and Wednesday in the Lyon Dance Biennale at T.N.P - 5 place Lazare-Goujon in Lyon. The shows are at 20.30 and 19.30, respectively and tickets are 80 and 120 F. There will also be some German dates in October... we'll keep you informed! SEPTEMBER 20 99X, Atlanta radio station, has a short interview clip with Peter Murphy that you can listen to via Real Audio. Read Jewels' review of the second New York show - I think we have yet another captivated victim of Bauhaus...! SEPTEMBER 19 In the October issue of Detour magazine there is a brief article and interview with Bauhaus, but the great part is the fantastic group photo, probably the best I've seen so far. The ISSN number is 25274 73971. You can also be titillated by the front cover picture of Liz Hurley, if she's your bag, baby. In the German magzine Zillo, there is an interview with David J about the reunion. He also talks about their past shows in Germany (hope you German fans attending the show aren't doing this!) where fans started fights with Bauhaus roadies, broke windows of their tour bus and stole their suitcases. Gilly also sent in scans of the pictures from the articles, so I'll be putting those up very soon. There are new pictures up - Monica's photos of the Denver show and Jenn's photos of the Philadelphia show. There's also great pictures of the Detroit show at Popfolio. You can see pictures of other bands at the site too. There's also brief reviews of the Washington DC show from the Washington Post and Boston Phoenix's of the Boston show. I wanted to link to the New York Times review of the New York show, but the site was hacked last Sunday (no search engine working at the mo') and there's a fee for looking at older articles... ptooey. SEPTEMBER 18 Bauhaus reportedly recorded two songs in Atlanta at Southern Tracks, one of them Severance, but the second song I've got no word on... SEPTEMBER
17 Reuters
has an interview with Peter Murphy, in it you'll
find his views on Marilyn Manson and also the
future of Bauhaus. SEPTEMBER 16 The venues and dates for the Portugal shows have changed: November 14 in Lisbon at the Multiusos Pavilion (an 8,000 person venue and also the site for the World Expo 1998) and November 15 in Oporto at the Oporto Coliseum. For the Vienna show October 24th, tickets can be obtained by calling Österreich Ticket Express at +43.1.1793 or you can check out their web site and order tickets at: tex@oe-ticket.co.at SEPTEMBER 15 If you haven't made it over to Bauhausmusik, the official site, go visit. Word has it the "Undertaker" of the Telegram-Sam newsletter (and no, it's not run by me!) is an illustrious and verbose member of the band... Expect some more surprises later on in the week. My apologies to those who've sent reviews of the shows - I'm still catching up around here. Quite a few people have wondered about the swirling pre-show music - it's Semazen Haken Polat Sufi Music of Turkye Vol. 5. Unfortunately, I have no idea where it can be obtained. If you know, pass the word on. Also, the introduction music of the show itself is an unreleased piece Ivo Watts-Russell of the 4AD label did for his new project The Hope Blister. Unfortunately, this is not commercially available. SEPTEMBER 14 Your favorite webmistress has finally made it home... New York, in a word, was spectacular! What more could we ask for when we thought the show was ending, and we received a 4th encore with The Passenger. If you've been following the setlists, you'd know this is the first time that a fourth encore has been performed. Also a reminder - the New York shows were recorded for a live video to be officially released, so I hoped you all looked your best. I regret to tell you that amongst other things and too many drinks, yours truly was knocked off her high horse due to losing several arm wrestling matches to Danny after the show. There are more confirmed European dates now: October
23 - Prague,
Czech Republic
at Lucerna Hall The venues for the Barcelona and Valencia shows are Zeleste and Auditorium Arena, respectively. Again, you can see all the dates available on the tour page bar to your left. SEPTEMBER 12 Trusty Assistant Reporting: From all reports, it was a great show last night in New York, much improved from the previous night (four encores in all!) In other news, this page is now (in)famous, having gained a mention in the popular press at the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. SEPTEMBER 10 Untrusty Assistant Unreporting: The formerly trusty assistant regrets to inform you that he will also be going out of town for a couple of days. Samantha will return on the 13th to keep you Bauhaus news fiends satiated. In the meantime, just thought that you might want to be reminded that you can see dates and venues for the European and Japanese legs of the tour by clicking on the Tour Dates link in the navigation frame on the left. SEPTEMBER 10 Trusty Assistant Reporting: Another show has been confirmed in Europe. This one's in Vienna, Austria on October 24 at Rockhaus Vienna. Doors open at 8 p.m. SEPTEMBER 9 Trusty Assistant Reporting: Samantha is now in New York, so I'll be keeping the setlists and things operating as smoothly as possible, but I don't promise any pithy comments. If you send email, don't expect it to be answered until next week. With that said, last night's Philadelphia concert was a rather short affair compared to recent efforts. Please check the setlist that I have been sent to see if it's correct. SEPTEMBER 7 Finally, more European dates! November
1 - Paris, France at La Mutualite - tickets are on
sale (at FNAC, I assume) I don't know when the Portuguese or Spanish venues go on sale though. If someone happens to find out the Spanish venues, by all means, let me know. Don't forget that Lisbon is the last date of the official tour! I'll be leaving tomorrow (September 8) for New York, so the Trusty Assistant will be filling in for me while I'm on the road. Hope to see you there! SEPTEMBER 5 Muzic.com wrote a trashing review of the second Toronto show. They also mentioned how much more relevant and original Marilyn Manson are as opposed to Bauhaus. I find it ironic that the reviewer mentioned a MM song Man That You Fear in terms of complexity and originality. This sounds too close in title to In Fear of Fear, don't you think? Talk about originality. Also, Liz found out there is an error on the tickets for the St. Petersburg show. The tickets state that the doors open at 8, show starts at 9. But according to the Mahaffey Theater, doors open at 7 and the show starts at 8. Better early than never! SEPTEMBER 4 Check out Phenics' review of the first Seattle show, which was the first official date of the tour. I still seem to be getting multiple queries from people wondering about the European dates. As I've stated before, I post all information when I get it. If a date isn't up (other than Japan, UK and Germany) then it's because I don't know the dates. Please, please, please kindly refrain from asking me if I know the dates yet! Read the past news for an answer to your query. I guarantee the answer is in there somewhere : ) SEPTEMBER 3 "If you can't stand Bauhaus, I suggest you sit down." - Peter Murphy in Rolling Stone news on BowieNet. SEPTEMBER 2 At last night's Rochester show, Bauhaus added Iggy Pop's The Passenger, which appears on Iggy's Lust For Life album, in their encore! Correction: Holy Fool is a song off of Love and Rockets' new album while the new Peter Murphy song is Big Love of a Tiny Fool. Thanks to everyone who shook their finger at me for my foolish mistake. No pun intended of course. The LiveConcerts webcast won't be shown live unfortunately, due to the MTV Music Awards. The webcast date has changed to September 28 and 29 at 9 pm EST. Rolling Stone has some tidbits about the recording session in Chicago and also says that Bauhaus may record a full length album, according to the engineer Chris Shephard, who worked on the session. SEPTEMBER 1 Several new updates to older news - the New York shows will be recorded for the live video that was mentioned previously. The shows will also be webcast on LiveConcerts starting at 9.30 EST. "Who killed Ziggy?" - I think that most people can forget the rumors of David Bowie joining in Ziggy Stardust in New York, althought it would make for a sight to behold and many sleepless nights afterward! In response to people's curiosities being piqued about the Chicago studio session, they played around with a "experiment" yet unnamed and have no plans at the moment whether it will be officially recorded or not. Severance was also included in the sessions. Peter's new EP Recall is slated for an October 27 release. Again, this will include 2 remixes of Roll Call, a remix of Indigo Eyes, and two new songs, Holy Fool and Surrendered, which features the vocals of Peter's mentor, Shengul. The EP was co-produced by members of KMFDM. Also, the Mexico City show at the Teatro Opera is on sale for $US25. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
