Daniel Ash of Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Love and Rockets, Poptone & Bubblemen, here as captured in 2001 for a promo pic by Chris Jensen.

"Post-Punk.com: Do you think the whole association with Bauhaus being Goth is ridiculous? Daniel Ash: It’s a weird one. To me, the whole Goth thing is very one dimensional. It’s sort of cloak and dagger. It’s ok, it has its place, it’s fun, but we just find it funny that we’re thought of as that (…) I think a lot of it is the imagery, but we never actually spoke about what we looked like when we started out. We never mentioned wearing black, never mentioned makeup or any of it. I know for Peter and myself, we were pretty obsessed with the whole Bowie thing, and the visuals were really important to us, so without even saying anything it was like, “Damn right I’m gonna wear eyeshadow and have a funny haircut because that’s where I come from and that’s what I feel like.” …Ironically, we’re just like the original Bauhaus movement, which is art for function, the opposite of gothic. It was about art being very simple and functional, which is just like the music that we made. However, we were very flamboyant visually, so we had those two juxtapositions going on. It’s almost like a contradiction between the visual side and the musical side. I’ve got to be honest. We find the whole Goth thing a joke, really, we sort of laugh about it. We were an art band. We all went to art school. We were like an experimental art band. I think that’s accurate to say that."

THE BUBBLEMEN ARE COMING!!!!!!

The Bubblemen Are Coming by The Bubblemen: a side project by Love & Rockets

[vinylanswer]

Talk about an identity crisis: Bauhaus became Tones on Tail (same band, sans singer Peter Murphy), which then renamed itself Love And Rockets, and then did a side-project as The Bubblemen, which was probably meant to be a spoof on kiddie tv programs like The Wombles or The Banana Splits. This is the UK introduction single, with its oddball comic book. “The B Side” is just that—three minutes of bee sounds. I actually SAW the Bubblemen live in 1988; Love and Rockets played Roseland in NYC and were their own opening act. Since they couldn’t play instruments in those costumes, they just bounced around on stage to songs on tape; it wasn’t kitschy as intended, just really bad, unfortunately. After their 2-3 songs, they finished and then we had to wait another 45 minutes for them to come out and play their real show!

Mike Judge creating new animated series called Tales From The Tour Bus

By Damion Damaske I love Mike Judge. I mean, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD was my childhood. I remember staying up late at night watching them riff on 90s music videos (my favorites being the time they reminisced about the fake cop show in Beastie Boys' SABOTAGE video, or the time Beavis freaked out about that weird "The Bubblemen are Coming" video). I then continued with KING OF THE HILL when it was on…
