February 16, 2011 (New York, NY) Nettwerk is excited to announce that PETER MURPHY has signed to its label roster to release his upcoming ninth studio album, aptly titled NINTH, out JUNE 7, 2011. The former Bauhaus iconic frontman has also just announced spring tour dates, including a stop in Austin, TX during SXSW. *Notes about Nettwerk's current roster of artists and label* Ninth marks Murphy's first solo album since the successful Bauhaus reunion tour in 2005, which included an appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where Peter famously descended to the stage upside down on a chain from the rafters. Currently living between Istanbul and New York City, ignited a new generation of fans in 2009 while appearing with Trent Reznor during his final Nine Inch Nails tour at New York's Terminal 5, Peter joined Reznor and his band to perform The Downward Spiral favorite "Reptile,' along with Murphy's "Strange Kind Of Love' and Bauhaus' "Kick in the Eye.' Always one to capture the zeitgeist of the moment, 2010 saw Murphy also in a central cameo appearance as 'The Cold One' in Eclipse, the most recent installment of the Twilight series. When approached about the role, flattered and amused by the offer Murphy comments, 'Who else could have and should have done it?' he laughs. 'It was really lovely and smart of David Slade to ask me
I was honored, actually.' More details regarding Ninth will be announced in the coming weeks.
