TONES ON TAIL - Everything


Tones On Tail were originally Daniel Ash (Bauhaus) and Glenn Campling (roadie for Bauhaus). The group was formed in 1982 as a side project for Daniel while he was still in Bauhaus. They were later joined by Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus) after that band's breakup. Though the career of Tones On Tail lasted only a couple of years (1982-1984), the group definitely made a lasting mark with their hard-to-define deep dark blue sound. After Tones On Tail ended, David J. (Bauhaus) rejoined with Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins to form Love and Rockets. Traces of Tones On Tail can be found on the last Bauhaus record, "Burning From The Inside" (particularly on the track "Slice of Life"), as well as the first Love and Rockets LP, "Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" (particularly on the title track).
"We were a motley crew of individuals who essentiallywanted to sound like a band from Venus or Mars!"

Siouxsie and the Banshees - A Kiss In The Dreamhouse {1982}

The well-titled A Kiss In The Dreamhouse turned Banshees to (twisted) romance as they balanced experimentation with new styles, backings and sonic textures with a growing -- if subversive -- pop vocabulary. Great tunes abound but no breakout hits. The Cocteau Twins start here.
