English rock band formed in Northampton in 1978, widely regarded as pioneers of gothic rock and post-punk. Fronted by Peter Murphy with Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins; original run ended in 1983 with later reunions and a final album in 2008.

Debut single 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' was released in 1979. Bauhaus released four studio albums during their original run (In the Flat Field, Mask, The Sky's Gone Out, Burning From the Inside) before disbanding in 1983. They reunited for tours and live releases in 1998 and again in the 2000s; the 2008 album 'Go Away White' received mixed reviews.

DeBaser reviews celebrate Bauhaus as pioneers of gothic rock and post-punk. Key studio works and live documents (including Bela Lugosi's Dead and In the Flat Field) are repeatedly praised. Peter Murphy's voice and stage presence are emphasized across reviews. Later reunions and the 2008 album Go Away White received mixed responses.

For:Fans of gothic rock, post-punk and darkwave; listeners curious about late 70s/early 80s British alternative music.

 “I began to grow when I realized that David Bowie wasn't a god,” thus spoke Peter Murphy, who knows how, who knows when, who knows where.

 After this maxi single dated 1979, Bauhaus would release four respectable albums before their premature breakup in 1983, never again matching the creative peak reached with their debut track.
