There have been two bands that have used this name. 1) Bauhausis an Englishband (formed in Northampton in 1978) popular in the 1980s. The band took their name from the German Bauhaus art movement, originally going by the name Bauhaus 1919, dropping the latter portion within a year of the band's formation. Bauhaus combined a number of influences ( punkmusic, glam rock, even funkand dub), to create a gloomy, but very passionate sound which appealed to many left looking for something new in the wake of punk's collapse. Their sound proved very influential, inspiring or bringing attention to a whole wave of post-punkgroups delving in the intense, gloomy style that would eventually come to be known as goth rock.

Bauhaus - Who killed Mr Moonlight?
Consider green lakes
and the diary of clocks
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
A broken arrow in a bloody pool.
The wound in the face
of Midnight proposals.
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
in the shadow of his smile
in the shadow of his smile
in the shadow of his smile
in the shadow of his smile
All our dreams have melted down
we are hiding in the bushes
from dead men
doing Douglas Fairbanks stunts
all our stories burnt
our films lost in the rushes
we can't paint any pictures
as the moon had all our brushes
extracting wasps from stings in flight
Who killed Mr Moonlight?
Who killed Mr Moonlight?
in the shadow of his smile
Who killed Mr Moonlight?
in the shadow of his smile
