Bauhaus is an English band formed in Northampton in 1978. The band took their name from the German Bauhaus art movement. Bauhaus combined a number of influences, to create a gloomy, passionate sound that ended up being labeled as Goth and went onto to influence an entire generation of groups during the 1980s. Their first single, " Bela Lugosi's Dead," was released in August 1979. Over nine minutes long it didn't sell very well, but became their most famous work. Its minimalist, free-form nature evoked a mixture of The Doors, Pink Floyd, Can, and Neu!. After Bauhaus broke up in 1983, three of its members went on to form Love and Rockets.
