In celebration of the 40th anniversary of iconic and highly revered post-punk band Bauhaus, Peter Murphy has announced the Ruby Tour which will circle the continent beginning and ending in Southern California.
Along with fellow Bauhaus band mate David J on bass, they will be performing their debut album In the Flat Field in its entirety along with an extended encore of Bauhaus classics. Notably, band mates Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins will not be on the tour, counting out a full-on Bauhaus reunion.
“There is something in you…a fire that doesn’t burn, but invokes light…where four individuals become one action and yet retain each of their own singular uniqueness,” Murphy said. The David J lookalike that I’ve cheekily placed in the band is not only fooling you but has, by a miracle, become the real thing! it’s David J himself! Look at thaaattt! David J ‘is’ the real thing! Now isn’t that just right, if not, lovely?”
Adds David J on his recent tour with Murphy, “This series of shows have been some of the most electrifying of my career! The band is super tight and playing with lashings of panache and as for M. Murphy, well, he is simply so damn ON! Ruby rising and then some!”
Kicking off on Jan. 16 At Anaheim’s City National Grove, the tour will hit Seattle, Austin, New York and Chicago. It will conclude in Los Angeles on Feb. 28 at The Novo DTLA. Check out the full dates below.
