pete murphy on tour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

And from the Killing Joke's Gathering mail list..

'Peter Murphy was on Indie 103.1 on Steve Jones's show Jonesy's Juke Box a month ago, and Mr. Murphy said there will be a big surprise this coming Winter.'

Could that be another Ressurection tour then?

If the proposed date on the 21st in Manchester is for real i think i'll bob over. not much into his solo stuff. I think Final Solution is the best i've heard from him. I had a Dali's Car single, The Express album of Love and Rockets and i've still got the Tones on Tail lp together with the T-shirt i forever sport.

Reform the troops and belt out another album! 8)

Just wished to say that Mr Murphy's Love Hysteria album would be one of the few saved should a burning house type scenario occur. Bought it on a whim years ago and still love it. Not heard any of his recent stuff though I must admit.

"Marlene Dietrich s favourite poem" for example
I like that song as well.
But that album wasn't very impressive in general.

Seen Peter Murphy live twice, + Bauhaus once, and never regretted it.
This said, I'd like to see him again.

If there IS anyone else going to tomorrows Nottingham gig, I'll be there and almost certainly wearing an 'Utterly Bastard Groovy' t, just to see if Mr Murph objects to 'guardinan readers (sic)' as much as our hero (hem hem) does.

Feel free to introduce yourself, and mines a pint of cooking lager please :)
Something pithy.

Did the Von really hate Bauhaus or was he just sounding angry for the interview :)

according to mr marx, both he and eldritch used to think bauhaus made an interesting racket, back in the day...

though these days it would never do for someone as obviously un-goth as eldritch (arf!) to be seen liking a band like bauhaus, whose hollow pretentions are the kind of thing that made people laugh at goth in the first place.

don't believe the hype ;)

I've pretty much presumed most of Eldritch's rants about such matters are "Kicking up a racket", the typical Rockstar "I hate my fans but I love them" atttidue.

I wish there were more bands in the style of Bauhaus, not the same obviously, but the sort of harsh but not too harsh, clangy dark echo-ey atmosphere.

Al lot of the music today which is supposedly of the similiar type is all based on electronic stuff that sounds like Floodland on trippy acid. Or at least seems to be anyway. I like quite a bit of the better new stuff like Cinema Strange(which is clangy and spooky), Faith and the Muse(who are art-rocky), and Switchblade Symphony(who are just kind of nifty).

I'd love for a band to come out with stuff like bauhaus were like though. There was something so wild and different about it.

Though I've probably talked about this "goth" you're pretending never existed enough in other threads :)

I like a lot of modern music, but I think we've lost a lot of that stuff throughout the years, the "edgy" mood of rock music, which is a shame. 80s metal still sounds better to me. I suspect much the same happened to Peter Murphy himself, sadly.

Just legalise LSD and teach its use in GCSE Music classes. Then you'll have as many Bauhaus-like bands as you want ;)

More seriously, I was thinking of taking my band/project/thing in that direction, but for some reason people aren't too keen to play songs about greek mythology, drug abuse and male prostitutes, never mind all 3 mashed together into 1 incoherent dirge. That and I like my lyrics to make sense :innocent:

its easy ;)

1) throw away your plectrums and play the guitar with a 2 pence piece. or a violin.

not the bow, the violin. anyone can use the bow :roll:

2) and throw the drum kit down stairs before playing.

3) and listen to more bowie, (early) eno, sweet and t-rex instead of that goth nonsense.

I used to write songs involving Norse mythology, drug abuse and prostitution. Now it's all a bad trip involving dancing reptiles, trains, and something coming towards you... fast.

Who said lyrics had to make sense?
