Bauhaus
with Vinsantos
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Legendary band Bauhaus is reunited and out on tour. The goth band will headline the Palace Theatre in St Paul on September 18th.

While we have seen their lead singer Peter Murphy in April 2016 and Poptone (Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins) in July 2017... we have never seen all of them together as Bauhaus (the band long broke up before our time).

Obviously, the band still have such a cult fanbase, many of them will come out of the darkness to see the band perform “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”... the band’s signature song. As we described previously, “[Peter Murphy] had wedged in three Bauhaus songs in the middle of his set. Those songs were well-received.”

Flasher is on tour in support of their album Love Is Yours (Domino). The duo (guitarist Taylor Mulitz and drummer Emma Baker) will stop by the 7th St Entry on September 18th.

Rolling Stone praised the song “Sideways”, writing, “Mulitz’s and Baker’s guitars strum out a breezy disco rhythm as their vocals overlap with ease, letting the song unfold in no hurry. The time out of the spotlight sounds like it’s done them good.”

Joining the duo to form Poptone will be Haskins’ daughter Diva Dompé, formerly of the Los Angeles rock band Blackblack. …

Poptone (not to be confused with Alan McGee’s record label Poptones) headlined First Avenue’s mainroom on Saturday, July 8th.

Local DJ Jake Rudh played music videos in-between live sets. The videos are typical Transmission-type music. The music selections had plenty of David Bowie (Rudh has been on a Bowie-kick since his death), T-Rex, and anything from the glam period. We were a little surprise to see a rare American band like Concrete Blonde (the gothic-looking ‘Bloodletting’ video) on the playlist though.

New Orleans’ Trance Farmers, previously unannounced on the bill, opened up the show. They are normally a full six-piece band, but for this tour they were singer/band leader Dayve Samek and a singer & tambourine player. Musically, they gave off a hippy-vibe, as they play tracks from their record Dixie Crystals (Leaving Records).

Since they didn’t have a full band, Samek would often play pre-recorded backing track and he’ll synchronize his guitar notes... sometime creating really complicated layers of music.

Look for Trance Farmers’ forthcoming album, Sugar Lemon Hog Whistle, on Leaving Records. Their lead single ‘Teleportal’ is trippy, with its 70s guitars, with harmonica, and a weird pronounced in the song as “te-le-por-taal”.

Poptone took the stage a little later than advertised. The trio consists of Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins, and Diva Dompé (Haskins’ daughter). The former two were previously in Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, and Love & Rockets.

Since those bands no longer exist, the newly formed band, decidedly play a bit of a retrospective setlist, featuring plenty of Tones on Tail songs, a bit of Love & Rockets songs, and throwing in a few Daniel Ash solo songs. While some people considers these cover songs, we don’t think so, considering Ash & Haskins help wrote these classic songs.

However, for those critics, the band have noted that they are indeed writing new songs, but those songs probably won’t be heard until after this tour. When asked why they were playing so much Tones On Tail songs, drummer Haskins said, “I feel that there are many people who didn’t get a chance to see us back in the day.”

Daniel Ash, in a mohawk and sunglasses, stayed mostly on guitars... except to bring out the saxophone for some special Tones On Tail songs. Meanwhile, Diva Dompé was playing all sort of instruments, showcasing her diverse talent.

For the truly faithful, who stayed for the double encore, they were rewarded with a rare Bauhaus song, ‘Slice of Life’. This was a deep cut from their 1983 record Burning from the Inside.

Surprisingly, Love & Rockets’ biggest hit song ‘So Alive’ was not played... instead ‘Sweet F.A.’ closed out their show.

Remaining tour dates:

08/03 - Asbury Park, NJ @ The Stone Pony
08/04 - Philadelphia, PA @ Trocadero Theatre
08/05 - New York, NY @ Irving Plaza

For this retrospective tour, Poptone will play songs from all their previous bands, heavily leaning on the rare Tones On Tail songs. Expect to hear dance classics ‘Ok This Is the Pops’ and ‘Go!’

This is a really solid event. If you live in Duluth, or willing to drive from Minneapolis, the show looks outstanding.

We previously have seen all headlining bands before, with Hippo Campus recently in March 2017 and noted, “The buzz for Hippo Campus at their homecoming show was simply amazing. As soon as the band took the stage, a hundred cellphones went up in the air to record every moment of the band. The audience was generally young teenagers, but that is expected for a semi-rare all-ages weekend show at First Avenue. The last time we saw Hippo Campus, they were definitely one of the key attractions to Rock the Garden 2016. Their RTG 50-min set “wowed the many in the crowd who were there to see them play a danceable mix of familiar and some yet-to-be-released songs.” Some of those preview songs are now available on their debut record landmark (Grand Jury Records). ”

This show is presented by First Avenue, The Current, and KUMD. Since this is an open area, so the show will go on rain or shine.

He went on to have a lengthy solo career, having released eight studio albums since 1986 ... …

“The Godfather of Goth” Peter Murphy sold out his Mill City Nights show in a rare Minneapolis appearance as part of his “Stripped” tour.

Murphy semi-regularly play in major cities, such as New York and Los Angeles (such as seeing him at Halloween Ball 2012 and Miracula Halloween), but the English singer rarely extend his shows to Minneapolis. In fact, his last MN show was eight years ago (16 June 2008), according to thefader.com with opener Ali Eskandarian (who was murdered in 2013). Prior to 2008, Murphy headlined First Avenue for his Dust tour in 2002.

Although no opening acts were listed at the venue’s website, we’ve seen enough shows to know that DJ Jake Rudh was handling the music video choices, mostly of the 80’s era (with one exception: David Bowie’s last video “Lazarus” before his death).

The audience who came to the special seated show at Mill City Nights were all longtime, dedicated fans. This is important to note, because this was one of the most behaved, most respective crowd we’ve seen in a long time. Fans were clinging on to every lyric sung and watching intently to Murphy’s dramatic hand gestures.... despite the dimly lit show.

Joining Peter Murphy on stage for the “Stripped Tour” were two friends (both New Yorkers): Emilio China (from Zef Noise) and John Andrews (from Loudboy). The two had the impossible task of reproducing music and effects that a normal full band made from Murphy’s entire discography.

They did a good job, with sometime Murphy joining them on acoustic (on “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything”) or melodica (on “Hollow Hills”)... but you can tell that Murphy doesn’t feel that comfortable playing live. Sometime it seemed like he’s noodling and trying to find the right note.

Setlist

As you can see from his setlist (which does not list encores), he had wedged in three Bauhaus songs in the middle of his set. Those songs were well-received... as for most of the well-known songs.

One of the interesting choice of songs was a cover of David Bowie’s “The Bewlay Brothers”, done early in the set. Right before the song played, Murphy introduced it as, “David Bowie died... but not really,” followed by a joking stab at Lady Gaga for her Bowie tribute. Murphy only wished Gaga would cover “a proper tune”. “The Bewlay Brothers” was the song that Murphy said he’s always wanted to play.

If you were wondering why Bowie meant so much to Murphy, you have to remember that the two were probably friends, at least like-minded colleagues, because the two appeared in The Hunger (the opening sequenced featured Bauhaus singing “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”). To tie it back to Gaga, she would later appear in American Horror Story, doing her version of The Hunger (but using as She Wants Revenge’s “Tear You Apart” as soundtrack).

Obviously his biggest hit song “Cuts You Up” was saved near the end of the encore. As soon as the violin notes were played, the entire audience basically went nuts. Murphy could have ended with that song and left everyone satiated, but the song was followed up with “Your Face”, a slower song to help bring the audience down.

The audience, still doing a standing ovation, would be rewarded with a second encore, this time for “I'll Fall With Your Knife”.

If you attend a show and interested in a personal meet & greet, you can purchase it at the merch stand. The price also includes a unique, limited CD.

Peter Murphy’s “Stripped Tour” continues in London, Ontario, tonight.

Thompson, Jones and their collaborators have given us a round of tunes that aren't already classics but are certainly destined to be.”

The two met a George Jones track at LA's Club Largo in 2011 and developed a bi-coastal musical relationship (she in Los Angeles, he in New York City) that helped spawn the album Little Windows.

Set List photo courtesy of dollylama Halloween Miracula was an intimate concert and cocktail party held at a secret venue in Pasadena, CA. Only 30 guests were in attendance, and we mingled before Peter's outdoor moonlit concert began in the backyard of the private residence where the event took place. Peter and his band performed selected Bauhaus songs, many songs that span his solo career, and his 1989 album, Deep, in its entirety. The highlight of my evening was hearing Peter's acoustic mash-up of "A Strange Kind of Love" and "Bela Lugosi's Dead." Dollylama & Peter Murphy photo courtesy of dollylama After his performance, he mingled with guests at the cocktail party. I had an unexpected treat--Peter approached me and asked if he could join me for a light meal of sesame peanut noodles. We sat in a quiet little corner to have a pleasant meal and conversation. I told him that I first saw him perform during the Holy Smoke Tour in 1992. We chatted and joked a bit, and after we finished eating, he introduced me to some of the folks who attended his Las Vegas Miracula event. This was a most unforgettable concert experience. dollylama ♥ www.petermurphy.info
