Bauhaus

How about a little music?

I was about to post David Bowie but found Bauhaus' interesting "Ziggy Stardust" cover. I saw the band in about 1982, shortly after the release of their LP "
The Sky's Gone Out." The show was memorable for the band's intense audience-unfriendliness, especially that of singer Peter Murphy. He mocked the L.A. crowd and the band refused to play their biggest hits. They never played "Ziggy Stardust," which I thought was a flat out bummer. Either way, good or bad, I'm glad I saw them. At the time their music made me think, a lot, about philosophy and existence, especially on their earlier album, "In the Flat Field."
