Tones On Tail - Go! Beggars Banquet 1984

Originally intended as an outlet for Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash to record his more experimental material, Tones On Tail became the psychedelic and light-hearted antithesis of Bauhaus’ gloom and doom reputation. The band made a point of having each song sound as different as possible, and in concert wore all-white as a reaction to Bauhaus’s all-black look. During their short tenure together, Tones On Tail created some of the most inventive, arresting and tongue-in-cheek “pop” music until disbanding semi-acrimoniously in 1984. Ash and Tones On Tail drummer Kevin Haskins, also originally from Bauhaus, went on to form Love and Rockets.
