Bauhaus x Welcome Skateboards Drop Exclusive Collaboration
Welcome announces a rare collaboration with the legendary post-punk band Bauhaus. This unique partnership brings together the world of skateboarding and apparel with the darkly poetic influence of one of the most iconic bands in music history, resulting in a collection that pays homage to Bauhaus’s enduring legacy.
Bauhaus, often credited as the pioneers of goth, is better described as sonic art with a sound that was as haunting as it was innovative. Their debut single, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” set the tone for what would become a revolution in music, blending post-punk with an eerie, atmospheric sound that captured the disillusionment of a generation. Over the years, Bauhaus has inspired countless artists across various genres, from rock and alternative to fashion and visual arts, solidifying their place as a cultural touchstone.
Welcome Skateboards, known for its creativity and boundary-pushing ethos is the perfect partner to honor Bauhaus’s legacy. The collaboration includes a series of limited-edition decks and apparel featuring extremely rare hand drawn art from the band’s archives along with illustrations from Welcome’s founder Jason Celaya, who was inspired by the band’s distinctive aesthetic and sound. Whether it’s the iconic imagery of Peter Murphy’s shadowy presence or the surreal visuals that adorned Bauhaus’s album covers, this collection is something never seen or made available before from the band.
“This collaboration is more than just a celebration of Bauhaus’s music; it’s a tribute to the band’s influence on culture as a whole,” says Jason Celaya, Founder of Welcome. “Bauhaus reshaped me as an individual in the way I think about art, music, style and even vocabulary.”
The Bauhaus x Welcome Skateboards collection will be available for a limited time starting August 16th on the Welcome Skateboards website and at select r
