David J (Bauhaus, Love And Rockets) on his book, WHO KILLED MISTER MIDNIGHT?

Post-punk/goth bassist, DJ and artist David J (David John Haskins) is out and about now promoting his big gnarly memoir, WHO KILLED MISTER MOONLIGHT?, from Jawbone Press in London.

He sat down with Rob at Reviewer TV for a moment to sip wine and discuss his new literary accomplishment before his reading at Ducky Waddles Bookstore in Encinitas. Originally from Northampton, above London, England, David J is the attributed with penning the nine-minute long Bauhaus track "Bela Lugosi's Dead" which is said to be the first song of the gothic music scene/movement. His later band, Love And Rockets, had a 1989 hit single*, "So Alive", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
