Listen to the Spotlight On Podcast Interview With David J of Love and Rockets and Bauhaus

David J, the dapper flaneur whose legendary bass playing is part of the rhythmic backbone of Love and Rockets and Bauhaus, sat down with Spotlight On’s guest host, Michael Donaldson, for a no-holds-barred chat. Starting with David’s latest demo collection, Tracks From The Attic, the conversation meandered through a maze of topics, touching on everything from the esoteric to the heavy beats of dub music.  They also swapped stories about Leonard Cohen, Genesis P-Orridge, the off-the-cuff creation of Shiva Saves, and even Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies.

The discussion wrapped with talk of this fall’s ongoing Love and Rockets tour with Jane’s Addiction.

Tracks from the Attic (released on Independent Project Records) is David J’s career-spanning triple album made up of home demos recorded between 1984 and 2004, hand-selected for inclusion by the artist himself. You can hear a few musical excerpts from the album in the interview.

The Love and Rockets/Jane’s Addiction summer tour, spanning 23 cities, kicked off on August 9 at Las Vegas’ Fontainebleau. The band will wind its way across the continent, culminating in a climactic performance at the Evolution Festival in St. Louis on September 29. It promises to be a celebration of a band that, despite the years, remains as vital and compelling as ever.
