Netflix’s Latest ‘Resident Evil’ Teaser Reveals Cause of Zombie Apocalypse

Bauhaus Kick Off 2022 Tour In Portland With A Chaotic, Thrilling Performance
The tone for the evening was established early. Peter Murphy stormed the stage, scepter in hand, before the house lights could be dimmed. “Let’s get going,” he shouted at his bandmates. “Fuck the lights.” The occasion was the opening night of Bauhaus’ 2022 U.S. tour — a short run of dates that sticks to the West Coast during the month of May before the post-punk icons reconvene in September for a pair of shows in New York City — and the temperamental frontman was anxious to get things underway.

He threw his instrument on and spent the rest of the so...
