In
between Bahaus and Love and Rockets, there was....
Tones On Tail! Never predictable, always interesting,
sometimes beautiful, often crazy, Tones On Tail
was a one of a kind band that came out of the diverse
new 80's scene. Originally intended as an outlet
for Bauhaus' guitarist Daniel Ash to record his
more experimental material, Tones On Tail surfaced
in 1982 with the 12" e.p.This musical offshoot
became the psychedelic and light hearted antithesis
of Bauhaus' doom and gloom reputation. Danny was
initially joined by Glenn Campling on bass and
keyboards, and, with the subsequent demise of Bauhaus
in 1983, drummer Kevin Haskins, turning this 'side-project'
into a 'proper' band.
'Go!',
originally a b-side track unexpectedly became
an international club hit! You could hear the
song echoing throughout most of the innovative
and avant garde, underground dance clubs in New
York, Los Angeles, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam
(to name a few). 'Go!' is still considered a
hallmark of the 80's British 'new wave' period.
You can even hear strands of Tones On Tail's
work in some of today's artists like Moby's 'Go'...
