Bauhaus’ and Love and Rockets’ David J discusses his epic new double album and tour, the upcoming Bauhaus reunion and more in this week’s podcast episode.
This week’s guest is David J, best known as the bass player for goth legends Bauhaus and as the bassist and co-vocalist of post-punk icons Love and Rockets.
His work in both bands helped each achieve cult status, still revered to this day thanks to classic tracks like ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’, ‘Dark Entries’, ‘So Alive’ and ‘Ball of Confusion’ (to name but a few).
J has also had an extensive and varied solo career, and he’s set to release his upcoming double-album, the epically titled ‘Missive to an Angel from the Halls of Infamy and Allure‘ on October 18th via Glass Modern Records (click here to preorder).
It’s an ambitious undertaking, featuring a host of guest collaborators including the likes of Rose McGowan, Asia Argento Anton Newcomb and Toby Dammit. And J will be celebrating the album’s launch during his upcoming European and North American tour.
During our chat, J and I discussed the origins and creative process behind the new album, what fans can expect from the tour, as well as touching on the upcoming and highly anticipated series of Bauhaus reunion shows in Los Angeles this November.
So enjoy the interview, followed by ‘Copper Level 7’, a track off the new album.
