In related news, last month ex-Bauhaus
bassist David J. Haskin put out a memoir titled "Who Killed Mister Moonlight? Bauhaus, Black Magick and Benediction" via Jawbone Press.
It offers an unmitigated recounting of the band’s rapid rise to fame and glory in the late 70s, their sudden dissolution in the 80s, and their subsequent—and often contentious—reunions. Where it is germane, Haskins also touches on his work with Love And Rockets and various other collaborators and delves deep into his exploration of the occult.
Feedback:
Fast, compelling, and disarmingly honest, this is an invaluable account of a strange and spectral cultural twilight era that we shall almost certainly never see again. Highly recommended.

Bauhaus was…one of the reckless few that created such an important and unusual genre of music. Their odd, witchy songs snaked themselves all the way from whence they came into my temporal lobe and impacted on what I ended up becoming as an artist.

I’ve just read David J. Haskins’s memoirs. I had expected drugs and sex and rock music; I had not expected the kaleidoscopic parade of sheer insanity, the loads of blood and punch-ups, fantastic egos, dark arts, creeps and cons, curses, witches, gurus, psychological warfare, superstars and nameless angels, demons and doomed types, fire, arrests, legal battles, gods and doors to other worlds, astral projection, ASTRAL FUCKING PROJECTION....AND it’s actually quite a hilarious read, save all the creepy crawly bits.
