– David J
While so many music icons seem to fade away without dignity or creative energy to speak of, David J has plenty of both, and he doesn’t look to fade away any time soon. David is best known as the bassist for the influential British bands Bauhaus and Love and Rockets. But with Bauhaus coming to a well-publicized end (their final album, Going Away White, came out this month), David is setting off in a new direction.
He’ll keep putting on tremendous shows with Love and Rockets, but he’s also finally presenting a completely different sort of project that’s been in the works for four years. Silver for Gold (The Odyssey of Edie Sedgwick) is David J’s big debut as a playwright. David talked to SuicideGirls just before opening night at L.A’s Met Theatre about the end of Bauhaus, the state of the music industry, and the years he spent with Edie as his muse.
