Peter Murphy is hitting the road next month with his ex-bandmate David J on the 40 Years Of Bauhaus Ruby Celebration which will see the legends perform In The Flat Field in full along with an extended encore of Bauhaus classics. There are no North American dates for the anniversary tour, though Murphy is scheduled to return to North America next March for his oft-rescheduled San Francisco solo album residency.
Today Murphy has taken to Instagram to wax poetic about life and consorting with dead somnambulant people. Prepare yourself and read what he had to say below.
"Don’t venture to ask how it is being with a Bauhaus “band member”: it is best unsaid, as post-traumatic as it is. Not due to creative reasons, entirely due to being consorting with dead somnambulant people. An affront awaits at any turn, a rock n roll slant, an arrogance coupled with breathtaking naivety that is expressed in such a harm that even a mugging victim is spared such depth of coarse blind of the sacred intimations: whatever that is that I was born with and have sought to refine, with divine education (and no I’m no spiritual dud seeker, I’m an alumni of Hak. The Real the Truth).
At least David is in the throes of awakening. As for myself, I love these miscreants whatever."
Meanwhile if you missed the news earlier in the week, Bauhaus will release an EP titled The Bela Sessions on November 23rd. The five song EP includes material from their first recording session in 1979. View details on the release here.
