Bauhaus' final album, Go Away White was released in March but Murphy and band mates Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and David J announced that White was the band's swan song. After splitting in 1983, during which time Murphy enjoyed a solo career and Ash and the Haskins brothers formed Love and Rockets , the group got back together in 1998 for a full tour (which included a stop in Rochester, NY), followed in [...]
