It is with deep found respect that we here at Coitus Interruptus Productions have gathered up some of todays artists to pay homage to, and reinterpret some of our favorite Tones On Tail and Love & Rockets songs. We knew…and watched, as they set the foundation for what alternative rock would become. ![]() However, for those of us who knew of them, had been following them and dancing to their music throughout the years in dark, smoky clubs, we all knew they were much, much more. The group had a devoted cult following for most of the late '80s, only really seeing some notoriety in 1989 with their hit “So Alive”.

As a musical side project, Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash originally created Tones on Tail along with bassist Glenn Campling.
