The music world is buzzing as Night Crickets, a band formed by alternative legends David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes), and multi-instrumentalist Darwin Meiners, prepares to release their latest project, How It Ends. This collaboration is a testament to decades of pioneering music, uniting key players who shaped punk, goth, and alt-rock into the cultural forces they are today.
The Legacy Behind Night Crickets
David J’s haunting bass line in “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” helped Bauhaus define the goth rock movement, influencing a generation with their dark, atmospheric sound. Similarly, Victor DeLorenzo’s powerful drumming with Violent Femmes brought punk to the mainstream, transforming songs like “Blister in the Sun” into anthems that defined the alt-rock scene of the ’80s and beyond. Darwin Meiners, an artist and collaborator who bridges the past and present, rounds out the trio with his versatile musicianship.
An Album That Explores Life’s Endings
Night Crickets’ latest album, How It Ends, builds on the themes they began exploring in A Free Society, diving even deeper into the nuances of endings, loss, and resilience. David J describes the album as “a contemplative exploration of endings,” with sounds that blend dark psychedelia and uplifting pop—a contrast inspired by albums like The Beatles’ Revolver.
The Raw, Remote Recording Process
Recorded remotely, the album captures unfiltered moments and first takes, resulting in a raw and emotionally charged experience. Already available in digital format, How It Ends is coming soon on LP and CD, and pre-orders are now open. This is a project that invites listeners to connect with the legends of alternative rock like never before.

Hear that? The sound of vinyl spinning smoothly into… nothingness? Perfect timing! Night Crickets exploring How It Ends sounds delightfully morbid, especially coming from legends who helped define the end of Bauhaus and the end of being punk cool. David Js bass weeping like a goth in a field of pop – what could be better? Recording remotely just adds to the chaotic authenticity, like finding a raw, unfiltered emotional recording in a dusty attic. Lets see if this blend of dark psychedelia and uplifting pop ends in a glorious mess or a surprisingly catchy cliffhanger! Pre-order for the inevitable catharsis

Who knew the ghost of Bauhaus and the ghost of Violent Femmes would team up with some ghost artist to explore the spooky finale of… well, everything? This lineup sounds like a How It Ends masterclass, albeit one taught by slightly haunted professors. David J and Victor DeLorenzo, legends whose past albums probably included the first take on how it feels to be awesome, are back. The albums dark psychedelia mixed with uplifting pop sounds like something the Revolver-era Beatles might have sketched if they were feeling particularly morbid. Recording remotely sounds both terrifying (what if the cat walks on the mic?) and brilliant (true chaos magic!). Cant wait to see if this contemplative exploration of endings includes a track about how it ends when you pre-order too late. Stream now, or risk eternal digital silence!

This band lineup reads like a whos who of alternative legends accidentally thrown together after a long night – Bauhaus, Love Rockets, Violent Femmes all crashing at David Js place! Predictably, theyre releasing an album called How It Ends, which sounds like the theme tune for a particularly moody late-night infomercial about existential dread. The idea of recording remotely to capture raw, unfiltered moments is hilariously optimistic – probably resulted in a lot of Who turned the bass knob to eleven?!? moments. Lets brace ourselves for this contemplative exploration of endings, surely it wont be as dark as finding out your vintage synthesizer is How It Ends (the product line, not the lifecycle). Pre-order away, you intrepid listeners!
