The Bauhaus and Love and Rockets veteran on his most goth possession, the red light districts of the world and his latest release, Tracks From the Attic.
David J is a triple threat. As a member of Bauhaus, he helped define the genre of goth. As one-third of Love and Rockets, he took his love of ’60s-influenced pop to the top of the rock charts. And as a solo artist, he has released a string of critically acclaimed albums. His latest project, Tracks From the Attic, is an impressive three-disc box set of unreleased demos and solo recordings.
HUSTLERMagazine.com caught up with David J on his solo tour to discuss the most goth thing he owns, his experiences with the red light districts of the world, and the future of Love and Rockets and Bauhaus.
