A founder member of the highly influential and revered BAUHAUS. Bauhaus
spearheaded the post-punk Alternative music scene of the early ‘80’s 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 personal, often observational, all of these qualities
are evident on his eleven solo albums. David has also written and directed various
stage productions. His memoir, ‘Who Killed Mister Moonlight?’ (Bauhaus, Black Magick
and Benediction) was published by Jawbone Press in 2014 to critical acclaim.
