The groundbreaking alternative music trio Love And Rockets, consisting of Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins, have announced ten more dates to their highly anticipated Spring US Tour, with upcoming shows in cities such as Chicago, New York, and Atlanta and a trio of Texas gigs. Additionally, Love and Rockets are celebrating their return with a series of vinyl reissues.
After Bauhaus disbanded in 1985, Love and Rockets emerged, allowing the three post-punk musicians to explore their creativity and imagination beyond the shadows of their previous band. Influencing numerous artists such as The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols, A Place To Bury Strangers, Jane’s Addiction, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beck, Maynard Keenan, Dubfire, and Pixies, Love and Rockets have left a powerful and lasting impact on the alternative music scene. Their last full tour occurred in 1999 in support of their seventh studio album, Lift, with some select concerts and festival dates in 2007 and 2008. After a long wait, Love and Rockets are finally returning to the stage and to vinyl.
In 2023, a limited edition box set containing their six Beggars Banquet albums on colored vinyl was released and quickly sold out. Love and Rockets then also announced their first show in 15 years at Cruel World Festival in Pasadena. Leading up to their first tour in almost 25 years, the reissuing of their six Beggars albums continued, with individual vinyl reissues of Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven and Express released on January 13th.
On April 28th, two more reissues from their catalog will be released, Earth, Sun, Moon, and their 1987 self-titled album, with more in the series to be announced soon. You can find the previously released reissues HERE.

In 1987, the band’s third album, the acoustic leaning Earth, Sun, Moon, was released and spawned the college radio hit “No New Tale To Tell.” This is a single black LP with a standard sleeve (Preorder here).

The band’s self-titled fourth album, Love And Rockets, was released in 1989 and featured the iconic single “So Alive.” The album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and went gold in the US. This will be a single black LP with a standard sleeve (Preorder here).
