The House Of Love Are A British Rock Band Who Were Primarily Active From The Late 1980s To Early 90s And Reformed In 2005. The Band's Original Lineup Was Guy Chadwick Vocals Guitar Terry Bickers Guitar Andrea Heukamp Vocals Guitar Pete Evans Drums And Chris Groothuizen Bass . Bickers Left In 1989 And Was Replaced By Simon Walker Who In Turn Was Replaced By Simon Mawby In 1992. Andrea Heukamp Left The Band In 1988 Returning Briefly In 1991. From The Same Genus As Echo And The Bunnymen My Bloody Valentine And Jesus And Mary Chain The House Of Love Arrived On The Scene In The Late 1980s With A Psychedelic Textural Rock Sound. Songwriter Guy Chadwick Provided Personal Romantic Musings Over Lush Layers Of 80s Studio Bliss Enhanced By Terry Bickers' Guitar-Playing. The Band Formed In Camberwell London England In 1986 And Released A Series Of Singles Leading To Their Debut Untitled Album On Creation Records In 1988. They Then Signed To Fontana In A Whirl Of Publicity And Money. Things Went Off The Rails At First As Their Next Two Singles Flopped And Work On Their New Album Progressed Slowly. Tensions Grew Between Chadwick And Bickers Exacerbated By Drug Use Leading To Bickers's Departure In 1989. But The Resulting Album Again Officially Untitled But Usually Referred To As The 'Butterfly' Album After Its Cover Design Went Top 10 And A Remake Of Their Early Single Shine On Caught The Retro Guitar-Pop Fashion In The Wake Of The Stone Roses And Was A Moderate Hit. Later In 1991 A Compilation Of B-Sides And Outtakes Was Released Usually Referred To As A Spy In The House Of Love As A Paperback Of The Anaïs Nin Novel Of The Same Title Appears In The Cover Photo. The Following Album Babe Rainbow 1992 Failed To Follow The Success Of The Butterfly Album Its Lush Pristine Production Rendered Hopelessly Out Of Date By The Emergence Of The Rave-Influenced Madchester Scene And The US Grunge Invasion. Their Final Album Audience With The Mind 1993 Barely Charted And The Group Disbanded. Considering The Previous Animosity Between Guy Chadwick And Terry Bickers There Was Some Surprise When In 2005 The Two Reformed The House Of Love. Pete Evans Returned On Drums And Matt Jury Handled Bass Duties. They Went On To Tour The U.K. And Ireland And Release An Album Days Run Away To Some Praise. In March 2008 House Of Love Played In Lima Peru For Their First South American Performance Ever. Almost The Entire Concert Is To Be Seen On YouTube. The Gig Featured Two New Songs Bringing Hope To Fans That The Band Is Still Working On New Material. In September 2008 Guy Played Solo At The South Pop Festival In Isla Cristina Spain. After Another Long Hiatus Guy Chadwick Reformed The Group With An All-New Lineup And In 2022 Released The Album "A State Of Grace."
