David J is a British alternative rock musician, born in Northampton in 1957, who has been active since 1979. Best known as a bassist with Bauhaus, the group whose debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead", came out in 1979, David J later formed Love and Rockets with Bauhaus members Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins after Bauhaus split. The debut solo album, Etiquette of Violence, was released in 1983 on MCA Records.

This Birmingham concert takes place at the Hare & Hounds, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in the city. Listeners who follow the Bauhaus catalogue, or the solo and Love and Rockets work that grew from it, will recognise the same alternative rock lineage across these projects.
