In 1978 the UK unleashed one of the biggest pioneers in Goth music, Bauhaus. The band consisted of Kevin Haskins, David J, Daniel Nash and frontman, Peter Murphy. They would go on to make 5 studio albums and then, sadly, the band disbanded in 1983 and Murphy formed the band, Dali’s Car and after 1 album, embarked on a successful solo career featuring 10 albums.

Flash forward to 2023 and London’s The Flood Gallery announces a limited edition, deluxe book featuring Peter Murphy’s lyrics and art called, “The Line Between The Devil’s Teeth.” Here is info from Peter Murphy’s FACEBOOK PAGE for the book we JUST prebooked:
