(1) Bauhaus is a band formed in Northampton, United Kingdom in 1978) popular in the 1980s. The band took their name from the German Bauhaus art movement, originally going by the name Bauhaus 1919, dropping the latter portion within a year of the band’s formation. Bauhaus combined a number of influences (punk, glam rock, funk, and dub), to create a gloomy, but very passionate sound which appealed to many looking for something new after punk.
Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones on Tail and, later, Love and Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and on a more permanent basis in 2005. The group announced plans to disband again after the release of their final album, Go Away White (2008).
Their debut single, “
Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” was released in August 1979. Over nine minutes long and recorded “live in the studio” in a single take, it did not enter the UK pop charts, but remained on sale for many years thereafter. By far their most famous work, its minimalist, free-form nature evoked a mixture of The Doors, early Pink Floyd, and experimental krautrock bands such as Can and Neu!. The song was used to score the first ten minutes of the 1983 Tony Scott vampire film, The Hunger.

I love Peter Murphy and Bauhaus, but I always thought this song was a little overated. It's a too repetitive for my taste. There are a lot of Bauhaus songs I like better. Just the same, it seems that most casual Bauhaus listeners know and like this song, so what the hell do I know! ;-)
