    Vocalist Peter Murphy earned the title of “Godfather of Goth” as the front man for the iconic gothic band Bauhaus in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This summer, he will showcase the latest of his solo material on his international Secret Cover Tour 09. The tour will coincide with the staggered release of four covers, and will include a preview of new material from Murphy’s forthcoming solo release. The first of the four cover songs, a version of John Lennon’s “Instant Karma,” was released as an iTunes single on May 26. This will be Murphy’s only NC concert!

        Greensboro was a strange venue choice for this veteran rocker but glad he came. He played two sets of old and new and ended with a David Bowie solo. Set as a 4 piece band the songs were all vocal dominated. Had the feel of a open rehearsal with about 150 in attendance in large theater. Instant Karma opened second set I believe. I always loved slow rock drive realized by Love and Rockets. His music is primarily about lyricism. Small crowd was thrilled to have him. I am surprised this is the only summer rock concert. What's up with THAT!!!! This venue will be overlooked as a rock venue if only one a year is scheduled. Collapse
