Formed in 1973 by Rino Sangiorgio, Paolo Damiani and Luigi Calabrò (three quarters of the Italian 70s progressive rock band Buon Vecchio Charlie), like BVC, Bauhaus was also in the progressive rock vein, but with much more pronounced jazz influences (in the style of Soft Machine)and thanks to the extreme technical proficiency of the musicians (all much sought after session men), they were named best new Italian band at the 1974 Villa Pamphili music festival.
