[kj] New Bauhaus Album in '08

[Christof hamille]

I love Bauhaus and early L&R.  But I refused to see any of the shows.  It all seemed like a cash in job.  And it seems like I was right.  Love and Rockets sounds like it'll be the same way.

Oh well

Chris

> As such, "Going Away White," which the band is releasing digitally via

> "Now, there's a little bit of an empty feeling because we can't tour with

> Word is, there's a likely Love and Rockets tour brewing in '08 as L&R are
