The good news for Bauhaus fans: the group is eyeing a March 4 release for 
"Going Away White," its first studio album since 1983. The bad news: there 
will be no further activity from the legendary goth band, who reunited in 
2005 for the Coachella festival and later toured the world.

"We were getting along really well, but there was an incident that 
occurred," drummer Kevin Haskins tells Billboard.com, declining to elaborate 
further. "Some of us just felt that we didn't want to carry on as a working 
unit."

As such, "Going Away White," which the band is releasing digitally via 
iTunes and on CD via its own Bauhaus Music imprint through Redeye 
Distribution, will close the book on Bauhaus. Haskins, guitarist Daniel Ash, 
bassist David J and vocalist Peter Murphy recorded the album last year after 
entering the studio "with nothing prepared," according to Haskins.

"I was concerned because history most of the time has proved that when 
groups reform and record, it doesn't work out," he says. "We all decided, 
let's just give it a go and see if it's working.

What emerged were songs Haskins says stay true to the original Bauhaus 
spirit, including "Adrenaline" and "Endless Summer of the Damned," which 
were performed during a summer 2006 tour with Nine Inch Nails.

"Now, there's a little bit of an empty feeling because we can't tour with 
it," Haskins admits. "All the same, it's something we're very proud of, and 
we feel a lot of people will be interested to hear it."

Word is, there's a likely Love and Rockets tour brewing in '08 as L&R are 
playing a one song, one show gig in Hollywood as part of a benefit later 
this month.
