10 | Love and Rockets were an AlternativeRock band from [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} England]], composed of the members of GothRock godfathers Music/{{Bauhaus}}, minus Music/PeterMurphy: guitarist Daniel Ash, bassist David J, and drummer Kevin Haskins. They formed after Bauhaus split and Ash's side band, Music/TonesOnTail, dissolved. The three attempted a reunion for Bauhaus, but Murphy declined to join, so the remaining trio formed a new group [[ComicBook/LoveAndRockets named after the comic]]. |
11 | |
12 | Their style incorporated PostPunk, '60s PsychedelicRock, and later in the band's life ElectronicMusic, and they had a Top 10 hit in the [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates US]] in 1989 with "So Alive." |
13 | |
14 | The band split in 1999, reformed in 2007 alongside a brief Bauhaus reunion, then split again in 2009. Daniel and Kevin formed a new group in 2017, Poptone, with bassist Diva Dompe, before another Bauhaus reunion in 2019. |

26 | !!This band provides examples of: |
27 | |
28 | * AlternativeRock: One of the bands that bridged the PostPunk of the '70s with the Alternative College Rock of the '80s. |
29 | * CoverVersion: The Temptations' "Ball of Confusion" and Music/PinkFloyd's "Lucifer Sam." |
30 | * EightiesHair: Daniel's and Kevin's hair defied gravity, as seen above. |
31 | * ElectronicMusic: Their last few albums incorporated electronics and dancier rhythms. |
32 | * GothRock: Born out of GothRock forefathers Bauhaus, elements of it always remained in their sound but became less prominent with every album. |
33 | * LeadBassist: David J shared songwriting and vocal duties with Daniel Ash. |
34 | * LesserStar: Kevin didn't sing or write, but he was still important to the band's sound. |
