Bauhaus

Bauhaus was an English band formed in Northampton in 1978, first under the name Bauhaus 1919. Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar, saxophone), David J (bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums) made dark, angular post-punk with experimental edges, and the group is counted among the founders of gothic rock. Their first single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead", came out in 1979. Bauhaus released the single on Small Wonder and the debut album In the Flat Field on 4AD in October 1980. The band then moved to Beggars Banquet for Mask (1981), The Sky's Gone Out (1982) and Burning from the Inside (1983).
