Tones on Tails, Bauhaus spin-off band consisting of the roadie for Bauhaus and Daniel Ash, guitarist for Bauhaus. Each song is distinctly Tones on Tail sounding. Each song is distinctly different from the others.
This is one of their darker tunes, somewhat of a nightmarish dreamscape. While not as catchy as some of their more disco songs, I wish I had written it.
And the air was alive With piercing sound and burning skies The horror did me good The magic was on my side And hot and cold ideas Were running onto your eyes Your sinking grey eyes She shook his head like so much meat The horror did me good

I completely forgot about Tones on Tail.
I used to have one of their albums on tape in the early 90s and was listening to it a lot.

It’s because of Happiness and Slender Fungus that I don’t forget them. Those two songs are associated with pivotal events, but I can see why other people might let the band slip.
I think of Tones on Tail as a legal acid trip when you listen with good headphones… 🤣

Thanks, Michael, I really enjoyed this. I have to say they are a band that passed me by – those days of scanning music papers and even word of mouth seem to have gone now that we are drowning in the Internet and it’s ceaseless flow of drivel – however I will see what I can find!

Really?!? Wow… I have a hard time believing that with all of the other bands we have in common from youth.
Glad I could introduce you to them.
Their music is very eclectic. Kind of Love and Rockets on acid. Try Happiness, War, Lions, Christian Says, Slender Fungus….
Now we lustre….
