Being pale and emaciated don't make it all the same.

Jesus H...I suppose all skinny honkeys look the same to you.

Racist.

Don't you mean
The Awesome Party vs.
Borehaus?

bauhaus fucking sucks.

the birthday party does not fucking sucks.

someone should shoot peter murphy for that awful "final solution" cover.

The Birthday Party, with significant waffle factor for producing an archetype that Melbourne bands have been copying for almost thirty years.

No one in Melbourne is brave/foolish enough to form a Bauhaus tribute band.

OK, who are the four losers who voted for Bauhaus? Show yourselves.

I mean, it's not even close. Birthday Fuckin' Party hands down.

I love Bauhaus and really appreciate their mix of cartoony, gothic wan, and dubby experimentation. I would pile them in with The Birthday Party in the sense that the latter have a sort of gothic, gloomy creep and howl to them. Christian Death, Joy Division, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, etc., all have some vague points of relation.

That said, Bauhaus is not really in the same universe as The Birthday Party in ways that allow a comparison that might seriously conflate the one with the other. In other words, I can see lumping them together in a superficial, convenient way, but any thought sends them hurtling away to opposite sides of a large room.

The Birthday Party are that rare band that furthered the fullest spirits of rock and roll. TBP had a little bit (alot) of the self-flagellated catholic quandary slathered in the animal commands of sex and intoxication and the howl of swamp nigger (reminiscent of a time when that word belonged to evil men in power) disdain. How they channeled all of that I do not know.

The Birthday Party is better than your band.

I guess I could see a similiarity in some of the vocal delivery, subject matter and overall gothic pretensions. The Birthday Party are the superior band though. I don't mind the early Bauhaus albums.

Please don't compare an amazing singer like Peter Murphy to that australian pimp.

Not to come across as an asshole or anything, but it's very obvious that you're from Poland because of how fucking stupid you are.

so where are you from, smart guy?

Don't worry Piasek. He's from Milwaukee which explains a lot.
