Bauhaus, formed in Northampton, England, in 1978, are pioneers of gothic rock, blending post-punk energy with elements of dub, glam rock, psychedelia, and funk. The band comprises Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar, saxophone), David J (bass), and Kevin Haskins (drums). Their debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" (1979), is considered a seminal gothic rock track. Their first album, "In the Flat Field" (1980), is regarded as one of the earliest gothic rock records. Bauhaus's dark, atmospheric sound and theatrical performances have left a lasting impact on the music scene. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
