Peter Murphy will return to Australia to perform a complete set of Bauhaus material.
The Mr Moonlight tour will mark 35 years since Murphy formed Bauhaus in 1978.
“Since 2006, I have included my Bauhaus work into my solo work as a way of tipping my hat to my own audience,” Murphy said in a statement. “Those who discovered my early work as well as new and old fans of those years’ strong wishes to hear the music of my band crackle and spark in the live arena. Being the foremost advocate of this Bauhaus work, I decided the time was ripe to at last give a pure Bauhaus experience in one Mr. Moonlight world tour. Mr. Moonlight is alive and well, don’t doubt it.”
Peter Murphy formed Bauhaus in Northampton, UK in 1978 and broke up in 1983. The band reunited for shows in 1998 and again from 2005-2008.
Murphy has not performed a full set of Bauhaus songs since 2006.
Bauhaus dates are:
December 10, Brisbane, Hi-Fi
December 11, Sydney, Manning Bar
December 12, Melbourne, The Corner Hotel
