Peter Murphy has announced The Ruby Tour. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the band Bauhaus, The Ruby Tour which will circle the continent beginning and ending in Southern California. Along with fellow Bauhaus bandmate David J on bass, they will be performing their debut album “In The Flat Field” in its entirety along with an extended encore of Bauhaus classics.
“There is something in you… a fire that doesn’t burn, but invokes light… where four individuals become one action and yet retain each of their own singular uniqueness,” Peter says in a statement “The David J lookalike that I’ve cheekily placed in the band is not only fooling you but has, by a miracle, become the real thing! It’s David J himself! Look at thaaattt! David J ‘is’ the real thing! Now isn’t that just right, if not, lovely?”
Adds David J on his recent tours with Peter, “This series of shows have been some of the most electrifying of my career! The band is super tight and playing with lashings of panache and as for M. Murphy, well, he is simply so damn ON! Ruby rising and then some!”
The tour will start on January 16th at the City National Grove in Anaheim, California and concluding at The Novo DTLA in Los Angeles, California.
First emerging from the British punk and rock underground in the late 70s, Murphy (along with bandmates Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins) fronted the rock band Bauhaus which produced four albums as well as singles “She’s In Parties”, “Silent Hedges”, and”Bela Lugosi’s Dead” before disbanding in 1983. Murphy launched a successful solo career that has yielded ten solo albums so far, including his latest “LION”, released in 2014.
