Dark Entries: Bauhaus and Beyond

A fantastic tale of notoriety as Gothic-Glam heroes Bauhaus slip into rock and roll excess, a tangle of out-of-control egos and musical disagreements leading to the inevitable split. Based around candid interviews with all the band members throughout their turbulent career, Ian Shirley unravels the uncompromising story of four individuals who have consistently confounded their detractors by turning up the unexpected. Fully updated to include their recent reformation, "Dark Entries" is an essential read for those exploring the darker side of rock.
