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.

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.
35	* NewSoundAlbum:
36	** ''Earth, Sun, Moon'' had a more acoustic, folkier sound.
