He is the life of Bauhaus!
He is come back again!
35th Anniversary all-Bauhaus show in Beijing!
He is Perter Murphy and his own band!
They call him the Godfather of Goth. Peter Murphy is best known as the vocalist of legendary sonic pioneers Bauhaus, whose 1979 single “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” is largely considered to be the beginning of the Gothic rock genre. But like any true innovator, Murphy has proved himself unafraid to leave behind the worlds that he creates, to tear down the walls of his own dark castle in the post-punk underworld and go in search of unknown creative terrain upon which to rebuild. After he disbanded Bauhaus in 1983, Murphy embarked on years of exploration as both a solo musician and painter. Nearly a decade later, in a sign of his lasting brilliance, he created American pop anthem “Cuts You Up” (1990), which sat at the top of the Billboard Modern Rock charts longer than any other number one hit that year. The musical descendants of Murphy and Bauhaus are well documented, and the artists’s style has been a force no less powerful.
It’s been almost three and a half decades since Murphy’s cellar-door voice first cried out its declaration of a new melancholic unity. Lasting victor of the the countless culture wars since, Murphy sits in the dark throne built by his successors–the artists and fans who continue to inherit, reinterpret, and bequeath his influence–his legacy forever undying.
