She's in Parties

She's in Parties is a song by the English gothic rock band Bauhaus. Released in 1982, it was the band's final single before their initial breakup in the same year.

The song was a standalone single and later appeared on various Bauhaus compilations, including Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape (a live version) and Crackle. It is characterized by its distinctive guitar riff, melancholic vocals by Peter Murphy, and a driving rhythm section, encapsulating the band's signature dark and atmospheric sound that defined the early goth rock movement. The lyrics often evoke themes of performance, identity, and the superficiality of social gatherings.

"She's in Parties" achieved modest chart success in the UK, reaching number 28 on the UK Singles Chart. It remains one of Bauhaus's most recognized and enduring tracks, frequently featured in their live sets during reunion tours and considered a classic within the gothic rock genre.
