Tones On Tail
Tones on Tail was a British post-punk band formed in 1982, originally as a musical side project of Daniel Ash of the gothic rock group Bauhaus. Their music was described by one critic as "doom-and-dance-pop." History While still a member of Bauhaus, Ash formed Tones on Tail early in 1982, originally as a duo with Glenn Campling, an art school friend and flatmate who had also been a roadie for Bauhaus. The band's name was a reference to the way calibration tones were recorded on the "tail" of reel-to-reel tape. The pair issued their debut eponymous EP on 4AD in March 1982, followed by the single "There's Only One!", released by Beggars Banquet Records on 24 September. Ash sang and played guitar, Campling played bass, and both played percussion and keyboards. After the break-up of Bauhaus in 1983, Ash and Campling were joined by Bauhaus's drummer Kevin Haskins and the band became a full-time concern for all three members. Their first release as a trio was the '' Burning Skies ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pop (Tones On Tail Album)
''Pop'' is the only studio album by the English post-punk band Tones on Tail, a side project of the Bauhaus members Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins (who later went on to form Love and Rockets with David J), and the Bauhaus roadie Glenn Campling. It was released on 6 April 1984 by the Beggars Banquet record label. Track listing Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' opined, "while ''Pop'' ..reveals some draggy recidivist Bauhaus tendencies, it also has real songs of modern music that show taste, delicacy and moderate imagination". AllMusic called it "an impressive, wide-ranging effort collaging a range of influences into an inspired, often unpredictable experience". Dave Thompson, in ''Alternative Rock,'' considered the album "more serviceable ideas than realized majesty", but nonetheless a recording that "holds its place in time".
