Peter Murphy, was influenced by David Bowie and Iggy Pop. That's why in concert they usually end with a Bowie or Iggy song. Peter Murphy still pays tribute by ending his shows with a Bowie tune. I've seen Bauhaus live and Peter Murphy live several times and always end it with the encore song being one of Bowie's. High energy post punk, great band Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins! Great voice and definitely Bowiesk!

Oh, to experience darkwave for the first time again in high school in the early 80s. To feel connection to goth when I felt disconnected to all that bubblegum on the radio. To soar in that bass line, to disappear into Peter's eyes, and know there were people like me out there. Nobody gets it now. They just look at your silver hair and dismiss you, as if you never lived, were never 17, were never alive.

House of Love blew him away and i wasnt even familiar with them. i didnt know what goth was, i thought it was rock-punk when i first heard em. Murphy is probably a little too much Bowie...without actually being Bowie. weak link. sexy, tho.

A gut pull drag on me Into the chasm gaping we Mirrors multy reflecting this Between spunk stained sheet And odorous whim Camera eye-flick-shudder within Assist me to walk away in sin Where is the string that Theseus laid Find me out this labyrinth place. I do get bored, I get bored In the flat field. I get bored, I do get bored In the flat field Yin and yang lumber punch Go taste a tart, then eat my lunch And force my slender thin and lean In this solemn place of fill wetting dreams Of black matted lace of pregnant cows As life maps out onto my brow The card is lowered in index turn Into my filing cabinet hemispheres spurn. I do get bored, I get bored In the flat field. I get bored, I do get bored In the flat field Let me catch the slit of light For a maidens sake On a maiden flight In the flat field I do get bored Replace with Piccadilly whores In my yearn for some cerebral fix Transfer me to that solid plain Hammer me into blazen pain Moulding shapes no shame to waste Moulding shapes no shame to waste And drag me there with deafening haste.
