I can't believe I wasn't going to go! That was all kinds of awesome.
It was an evening of Bauhaus tunes. Including Boys, the first Bauhaus song I was ever exposed to. He's a wonderful performer (and very self deprecating, he kept saying "I can't believe people are still coming to see me") and his band were very, very good. Bassist is cute, but not as sexy as the fretless bass he was playing.
I didn't get there early enough to be right down the front, but was really close- both times I've seen him/ Bauhaus previously were in even bigger venues and it was impossible to get anywhere near.
Though the performance was spot on and the material (obviously) some of my favourite stuff, it didn't have the emotional impact of seeing Mark Burgess do Chameleons songs last year.
He has a new album coming out in the autumn. They played clips from it before he came onstage. It sounds really good. And I haven't taken any notice of his solo work since Deep.
Lots of other thoughts which I can't articulate today.
Neil Gaiman and Peter Murphy in one week! Life doesn't get much better. Except, of course, that I'm going to see Dead Can Dance for the first time since 1993 on the 2nd.
