History Music / Bauhaus

* EvilLaugh / LaughingMad: featured on "Rosegarden Funeral of Sores"

* DissonantSerenity: In the earlier mentioned Maxell ad, Peter sits in front of a sound system that is so loud that objects literally start flying across the room, all while having a completely neutral expression on his face.

* TheStoic: David J when performing on stage, often with StoicSpectacles to boot.

* BreakupBreakout: While the band were more influential than successful, both Music/LoveAndRockets and Music/PeterMurphy solo, had hit singles in UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates.

* ColbertBump: In the early 80s, Peter Murphy starred in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBem3x7G6bc&ab_channel=DigitalCinemaMedia tv-advert for Maxell's audio cassettes]]. The ad became well-known to the point that new audience started coming to Bauhaus shows [[JustHereForGodzilla just because they recognised Peter from the advert]].

When the band broke up, Murphy formed the short lived Dalis Car with Music/{{Japan}} bassist Mick Karn, followed by [[Music/PeterMurphy a solo career]]. Haskins, Ash, and roadie Glenn Campling formed Music/TonesOnTail. Shortly after Tones on Tail dissolved, Ash and Haskins re-grouped with David J to form Music/LoveAndRockets (named after the [[ComicBook/LoveAndRockets Hernandez brothers' comic]]). After Love and Rockets' breakup in 2009, Daniel and Kevin have formed a new group in 2017, Poptone, with bassist Diva Dompe.

** Love And Rockets and Dalis Car [[note]]A short-lived project consisting of Peter Murphy and [[Music/{{Japan}} Mick Karn]][[/note]] were this to Bauhaus.

* TheCameo: Briefly appeared in Film/TheHunger, performing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" during the opening credits.

* ColbertBump: In the early 80s, Peter Murphy starred in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBem3x7G6bc&ab_channel=DigitalCinemaMedia tv-advert for Maxell's audio cassettes]]. The ad became well-known enough that new audience started coming to Bauhaus shows [[JustHereForGodzilla just because they recognised Peter from the advert]].

** Love And Rockets was this to Bauhaus.

* SopranoAndGravel: David J and Peter Murphy on "Of Lilies and Remains" and "Departure". Although in their case it is more of a contrast in energy than in pitch, with David having calm, spoken-word vocals and Peter's being very theatrical and intense.

* {{Instrumentals}}: "The Three Shadows: Part 1" and "Satori."

* PrecisionFStrike: While not the F-word, "Crowds" features this twice. Also one of the rare times they've used profanity in their songs.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: In true {{Post Punk}}/{{Goth Rock}} fashion, most pictures of the band and the video for "She's in Parties," are in black and white. The band also chose to eschew colourful stage lights, in favour of straight white lights.

** Happens within "1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash", which is essentially four different songs rolled into one. It opens with a serious piano-ballad before morphing into [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext an absurd song about fishcakes.]]

* ColbertBump: In the early 80s, Peter Murphy starred in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBem3x7G6bc&ab_channel=DigitalCinemaMedia tv-advert for Maxell's audio cassettes]]. The ad became well-known enough that new audience started coming to Bauhaus shows [[JustHereForGodzilla just because they recognised Peter from the advert]], and during an appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test it was the first thing that was mentioned by the presenter when introducing the band.

* LiveAlbum: ''Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape,'' ''Swing the Heartache,'' ''Rest in Peace: The Final Concert,'', ''This is for when... (Hammersmith Palais - 9th November 1981,'' and ''Gotham.''

* StepUpToTheMicrophone: David J provides the vocals for "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?", as well as the opening verse of "Of Lilies and Remains"

* EvilLaugh/LaughingMad: featured on "Rosegarden Funeral of Sores"
