Biography

Bauhaus are the founding fathers of goth rock, creating a minimalistic, overbearingly gloomy style of post-punk rock driven by jagged guitar chords and cold, distant synthesizers. Throughout their brief career, the band explored all the variations on their bleak musical ideas, adding elements of glam rock, experimental electronic rock, funk, and heavy metal. While their following has never expanded beyond a cult, they kept that cult alive well into the '90s, a full decade after they initially disbanded. They mounted a full-blown tour in 1998 and resurfaced again in 2008 with Go Away White, a studio album they promised was their last statement. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
