November 15, 2013 In the wake of this week's tragic murder of members of The Yellow Dogs, two benefit funds to aid both the survivors and families of the victims have been created by surviving band members and friends: http://www.neverheardinc.com/donate/ The surviving members of the Yellow Dogs have released a statement about the loss of their friends and band mates:
November 11, 2013 With Great Sadness and Shock today , I hear of the shooting of Ali Eskandarian , my young musician friend . Ali opened for my 2008 Retrospective Tour. My memory of Ali is one of a young man full of verve and love of lfe , at once committed to advocating for the easing of the subjugation of his people as well as forging ahead with stoic contemorary NYC music cool . That his end has been so sudden and tragic leaves us who knew Ali appalled. Our prayers go out to Ali's family and the families of his fellow band mates of The Yellow Dogs murdered alongside him.
November 9, 2013 Today, I hear also of our Bauhaus fine Engineer, Producer, and Mentor Derek Tompkins passing away this past Wed 6th November, and send sincere condolences to Mavis, his wife of many years. Derek's studio, Beck Studios, in my hometown of Wellingborough, was the place where, as a new band, Bauhaus went to make our first ever Demo recording for the grand price of £11 . Recording five songs , which included the one take only of Bela Lugosi's Dead , the same mix was used as the master recording for this seminal classic. Indeed this was the first ever vocal that as a singer I had recorded, and together with the band we sensed a magic in the air as we finished the song. Derek's presence and expertise was crucial in this moment. We subsequently invited Derek to be with us a co-Producer on the two Bauhaus albums Burning from the Inside & The Sky's Gone Out. All We Ever Wanted Was Eveything -- and when we asked -- Derek came along. God bless you Derek. Peter Murphy

December 27, 2012 PETER MURPHY FEATURED IN VMAN MAGAZINE! On newsstands now, issue 28 features a 4 page pictorial spread and article. Full text is below, or link to the article here: PARAGONS:VMAN STYLE ICONS PETER MURPHY: They call him the Godfather of Goth. Peter Murphy is best known as the vocalist of legendary sonic pioneers Bauhaus, whose 1979 single "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is largely considered to be the beginning of the Gothic rock genre. But like any true innovator, Murphy has proved himself unafraid to leave behind the worlds that he creates, to tear down the walls of his own dark castle in the post-punk underworld and go in search of unknown creative terrain upon which to rebuild. After he disbanded Bauhaus in 1983, Murphy embarked on years of exploration as both a solo musician and painter. Nearly a decade later, in a sign of his lasting brilliance, he created American pop anthem "Cuts You Up" (1990), which sat at the top of the Billboard Modern Rock charts longer than any other number one hit that year. The musical descendants of Murphy and Bauhaus are well documented, and the artists's style has been a force no less powerful. "Bauhaus popularized an image of black-clad Goths which continues to influence mainstream fashion," writes Valerie Steele in her book with Jennifer Park, Gothic: Dark Glamour. "Mask is irrefutable evidence that Bauhaus pioneered the dark theatrics characteristic of the Goth genre," continues Park, referring to the band's 1981 album. "Bauhaus was a band that understood the power of image early on...the erotically androgynous good looks of Peter Murphy well suited the Goth emphasis on beauty, and his attention to style again reiterated fashion's ultimate status in Goth subculture." A Muslim who has called Istanbul his home for the past twenty years, Murphy cites family as his earliest style inspiration: "My father, Michael Patrick, who in the 1930s was a natty turnout in wide Trilby and a wide swathing woolen beige long coat." The e-mail he sends me from California while on tour supporting his recent record, Ninth, is written in a beautiful Joyce-meets-Anthony Burgess vernacular. "My near twin brother Christopher's '70's Ben Sherman shirts," he continues. "Then his full testosterone black three-quarter Crombie coat, dancing to Northern soul and Reggae at our youth club, all pubescent and checkin' out the girls--cool. Not to mention my mother Margaret Ellen's own makeup sessions in our sunflower concave dinner room mirror, the pinnacle of the wist being as she applied her just right, deep crimson, strawberry red lipstick, rendering her own natural beauty just so!" His influence permeates several generations and genres of fashion designers. It's of course present in the more devotedly Gothic, such as Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, and Yohji Yamamoto (and the subculture of artisan darkwear born thereof, like Carol Christian Poell, Carpe Diem, and it's disciples, and Paul Harnden). But it's also visible in the work of preeminent designers Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Martin Margiela, and John Galliano, as well as today's young pioneers, such as Riccardo Tisci, Olivier Theyskens, and Alexander Wang. And yet, Murphy says, "What I look like and what I wear is not fashion. What I wear is an integral part of my whole. In relation to my music and my work--I see my clothes as part and parcel of the same movement. As I write a song, I write upon myself, too. It's all interrelated." It's been almost three and a half decades since Murphy's cellar-door voice first cried out its declaration of a new melancholic unity. Lasting victor of the the countless culture wars since, Murphy sits in the dark throne built by his successors--the artists and fans who continue to inherit, reinterpret, and bequeath his influence--his legacy forever undying.--ELLIOT DAVID

Miracula Halloween Tickets can be purchased without a PayPal account.
September 25, 2012 PETER MURPHY ANNOUNCES MIRACULA HALLOWEEN OCTOBER 27, 2012
Halloween. Peter Murphy invites you to join him as one of his very special guests at a luminescent Halloween Miracula on Saturday, October 27, 2012 6-1:30 am at a secret location in the Los Angeles area . The night will begin with cocktails as guests arrive. A moonlit 2-act concert will follow, with a special set list that has been chosen and arranged for this event. After the show, the party begins, with cocktails, a moveable feast, music, and merriment. Peter will join in the festivities and spend the evening revelling with his guests. Smaller groups will be invited throughout the evening to join Peter in a private room at the location to have more intimate conversation, take photos, and sign autographs. Special Miracula Halloween gifts will be given to each guest. Costumes are encouraged but not necessary, but it is Halloween so resplendent finery is in order.

September 14, 2012 Illegal Downloads. As the music industry grapples with the reality of the illegal proliferation of music and film content, that is in actuality the intellectual and fiscal property of its artist creators. As a musician who has come from the 'pre-internet age' and seeing the impact first hand on my own income source, which has been lessened. Whilst I am for the industry developing as many protective measures as possible to remind the public that illegal downloading is in fact virtual theft, I also understand the reflex to take something that appears to be 'free' via any and such rogue web sources. I personally trust that the free radical nature of the internet in this respect will evolve towards a more controlled culture where both the artist and fan will reach a middle ground as we see more and more artists offering many free content to audiences. From my 'artists' perspective, I'd say that I am concerned about a worst case scenario whereby the uncontrolled illegal free pilfering of art (the property of the Artist) will lead to the nigh on radical decline and dissuasion of budding artists to even begin to surface, as well as rendering present artists redundant and, ironically, being destroyed by the very same fans that enjoy the work. Fans might want to be careful about this syndrome. In essence, the WWW does offer fantastic new ways of sharing art, through ever budding new ways to continue that wonderful conversation between the artist and the audience. -Peter Murphy
