David J in concert in 2006. David J. Haskins (b. April 24, 1957, in Northampton, England) is a British alternative rock musician. He was the bassist for the seminal gothic rock band Bauhaus. J wrote the lyrics of several Bauhaus songs (including their first single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead." The original hand-written lyric sheet sold for a reported $3000 on ebay when J auctioned off memorabilia to fund 2003 record "Estranged"). He sang backing vocals on many songs, and sang lead on "Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?" when the lead singer, Peter Murphy fell ill with pneumonia. He began writing music for a solo career while still in the band, and continued after the band's breakup, releasing the dark Etiquette of Violence and Crocodile Tears and the Velvet Cosh, and played bass on two Jazz Butcher albums (A Scandal in Bohemia and Sex and Travel). J was also a part of the strange and very short-lived band The Sinister Ducks, which included saxophonist Alex Green and graphic novelist Alan Moore.

In 1985, J, his brother Kevin Haskins, and Daniel Ash formed Love and Rockets, in a botched attempt to reform Bauhaus, though vocalist Murphy abjectly refused to take part, again playing bass guitar but also sharing songwriting and vocal duties with guitarist Daniel Ash. His most notable lead vocal from this period was the minor hit "No New Tale to Tell". J maintained his solo career during breaks from Love and Rockets, releasing Songs From Another Season and Urban Urbane after his band's success with the single "So Alive." Love and Rockets broke up in 1998, after seven albums, and then J participated in a Bauhaus reunion almost immediately afterwards. Following what was billed as a one-off performance of the band at the 2005 Coachella concert festival, Bauhaus reformed for a successful tour of the Americas in late 2005 and Europe in early 2006. 1985 (MCMLXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
