Peter Murphy reunites with David J for trio of shows

Peter Murphy announced he'll reunite with ex-Bauhaus bassist and founding member David J (David John Haskins) for three shows in February. The trio of shows are part of Murphy's rescheduled residency dates at The Chapel in San Francisco (he postponed these shows earlier this year due to an issue with his voice).

From Murphy's press release:

"It’s with great feeling of gladness to announce that for the three Mr Moonlight Bauhaus shows on February 14th, 15th and 16th that David J has accepted my invitation to join me in performing and play his, what must be said, excellent original bass parts.

"During the 35 years of Bauhaus Mr. Moonlight tour of 2013, Emilio DiZefalo-China (my bass player and violin player) noted how unique David’s bass parts are – now we have David in person to play. It is obviously going to be a great pleasure personally to have David to my right in these shows. See you there, ‘let them know you’re coming!’"

Murphy will tackle a different solo album on each night of his career-spanning residency. The Mr. Moonlight shows with David J will be the only ones to focus solely on Bauhaus material. Check out the schedule for the residency below
