Today’s guest hates traffic as much as I do. Plus he helped invent an entire genre of music. Welcome David J. Haskins to the podcast. He has a new album out, but you may also recognize him from his previous bands, Bauhaus and Love And Rockets. His love of music began with reggae and sneaking into clubs when he was a kid. His biggest inspirations were Bowie, Marc Bolan, and Roxy Music. He started off playing guitar but switched to bass when music started getting serious.
Daid talks about early bands and getting banned from venues. He also reveals when and how he switched to fretless bass. It’s a pretty funny story. He also talks about writing Bauhaus’ most well-known song, Bela Lugosu’s Dead. Once Bauhaus ended, Love and Rockets begins. David discusses that transition and where the bands broke first.
David has had an impressive solo career and he has a new album, The Mother Tree. It’s a unique album, both in its concept and its execution. The album is beautiful and touching. It also has a companion book of poetry. Go to davidjhaskins.com to grab both. Check out his social media links while you’re there. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on socials.
