The gig took place at FAC 251 in Manchester, England and is owned by Hook himself. Back on May 18th, Hook and The Light played the album in full to mark the 30th anniversary of Joy Division front man Ian Curtis’ tragic death. Playing Unknown Pleasures won’t be a new thing for Hook. From there, the group will hit Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Chicago before jumping over to the West Cost for dates in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Stellar news or what?Īccompanied by his current supporting band The Light, Hook will begin his travels on December 1st in Washington, DC. Bass legend Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order, Monaco, Freebass) will be touring the album around the U.S. I would also wager a whole heap of you are with me, right? Well, take a deep breath, people. Do a search online and you’ll probably find a wealth of 10/10 reviews, or five stars, or whatever rating signifies as near to perfection as the site’s scoring system allows. Few bands achieve the instant classic with their first release, as was the case on this 1979 debut. He also DJs, promoting Fac 51 and The Haçienda Classical concerts around the world. He was a founding member of Joy Division and New Order, and now tours both bands’ music with his new group, Peter Hook and the Light. I put forth that one such album is Unknown Pleasures by Manchester post-punks Joy Division. Peter Hook Peter Hook was born in Salford, England, in 1956.
Every band hopes for that classic album that unites critics and fans the world over.
