David J & Comrades – Bauhaus Tribute

We are happy to welcome David J, comrades Darwin Meiners and Jon Bernstein, plus Schlee!

Musician, writer, playwright, poet, and visual artist, David J is a founder member of the highly influential and revered Bauhaus. Bauhaus spearheaded the post-punk Alternative music scene of the early '80s with a string of innovative albums and singles, including, for many, perhaps their defining moment, a song that is ranked as a classic and feasibly the pinnacle of the entire Gothic scene and beyond, the nine minute plus epic slab of industrial dub that is 'Bela Lugosi's Dead', featuring the lyrics of David J.

Two years after the demise of Bauhaus in 1983, David regrouped with two of his former Bauhaus band mates, guitarist, Daniel Ash and drummer, Kevin Haskins to form the hugely successful Love And Rockets, whose debut single hit gold status in Canada, followed by a top three US single with 'So Alive' which the band capped with a million selling album and sold out stadium tours. A highly acclaimed songwriter, often poetic, personal, and insightful, all of these qualities being evident on his eleven solo albums. David has also written and directed various stage productions.
