PETER MURPHY SET TO RELEASE BARE-BONED AND SACRED LIVE ALBUM ON MARCH 10TH
RELEASED STRIPPED-DOWN LIVE ALBUM VIA METROPOLIS RECORDSย
Following the overwhelming popularity of his Stripped Tour in 2016, the iconic Peter Murphyย will be releasing Bare-Boned and Sacred, a live album capturing the mesmerizing tour that saw over seventy shows in fourteen countries. It will be released on March 10, 2017 via Metropolis Records.
Recorded at NYCโs Le Poisson Rouge in April 2016, Bare-Boned and Sacred captured a new sound for Murphy, reviving legendary songs to the exposed heart of his voice as never before heard in his epochal stage career, from “Marlene Dietrichโs Favorite Poem” (from his album Deep) to the title track on his latest album, Lion. Vocally as strong as ever, Murphy taps the pulse of his muse as a trio with his longstanding collaborators, guitarist John Andrews and bassist/electric-violinist Emilio โZefโ China. Characterized by Orange County Registerย as โa semi-acoustic run through his solo career and Bauhaus classics [that offers] its own subtle drama and charm thanks to the strength of the songs and Murphyโs theatrical voice and vision,โ Bare-Boned and Sacred covers the spectrum of his oeuvre including a Bauhaus medley ofย โKing Volcanoโ and โSilent Hedges.โ
First emerging from the British punk and rock underground in the late 70s, Murphy (along with bandmates Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins) fronted the groundbreaking iconic rock band Bauhausย which spawned four iconoclastic and ultra-seminal albums as well as keystone singles “She’s In Parties”, “Silent Hedges”, and, of course, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” before disbanding in 1983. Murphy launched a successful solo career that has yielded ten solo albums so far, including his latestย LION,ย released in 2014.
Bare-Boned and Sacred will be released on March 10, 2017 through Metropolis Records.
