Peter Murphy

Murphy’s current Retrospective tour culls from both his solo work and Bauhaus’s songs, particularly those on its spring-released “Go Away White,” a surprisingly fine recording after the quartet’s 15-year recording hiatus. But, with Bauhaus, arguably the band who invented the Goth rock movement in 1979, once again disbanded, and this time with a sense of finality, Murphy is airing the new songs with a three-piece backing band, which includes drummer-for-hire Nick Lucero (Queens of the Stone Age). “They might’ve played with other people, but they’re mine now,” said Murphy with vampirish relish. A new solo album was completed, he also assured. [Boston.com]

Lori went to see Peter Murphy, but left a big fan of opener Ali Eskandrian (June 26, 2008). The rest of the tour dates, and more pictures from the Blender/Gramercy Theater show, below….
