Tones on Tail have an album, "POP!".  The album is hardly pop
and I liken it very much to certain older aspects of Bauhaus.
It has some pretty intense interludes. These guys toured the US
earlier this year.

Another former member of Bauhaus is singing for Dali's Car.
This is an amalgamation of Japan and him and sounds like Japan
but with a Bauhaus singer. I always thought Japan was a little too
slick but some feel it has pop appeal.

The third and possibly best spinter of Bauhaus is Davis J.
He currently has a 45 out, "I Can't Shake This Shadow of Fear".
The song and songwriting reflect the genius that once was Bauhaus.
One can only hope that he will follow with an album of equal
intensity.

Rumor dept: Bauhaus may be reforming.
