I cannot imagine a more incongruous paring than Northampton's champions of the Undead, Bauhaus, and the Southern Californian sun, but here they were in 2022 performing at the Cruel World Festival in the city of Pasadena. Actually, I think that all most if not all of the members of Bauhaus are US exiles. Pete Murphy is there I believe and the other three I think decamped when it was apparent that Love & Rockets were enjoying significantly greater success in the US than in the UK.
I think that this is the band's third reunion, first in 1998 (the only time that I saw them), then 2006 and finally 2021. They played Alexandra Palace in October of 2021. They are still sounding great I think, even in a festival setting.
I love everything that they have done, but I am especially fond of 'Mask'. As for 'Bela Lugosi's Dead', that is just a timeless track (you could say immortal!).
Just take a look at that line up! A great day culminating with Bauhaus.... well I wouldn't stick around for Morrissey!
