Peter Hook Brings Unknown Pleasures to the US
August 16, 2010
Peter hook is the legendary bassist for Joy Division and New Order. On the 30th anniversary of Ian Curtis' death, he performed Joy Division's album, Unknown Pleasures, in full. This December he will bring the tour to the US on a quick nine date US jaunt that starts in Washington DC on December 1st and wraps up in Los Angeles on December 11th.
Personally I'm a little torn about this. On one hand, I have never seen Joy Division live and this will probably be the closest chance I get (and no, the cover band, Joy Revision, doesn't count). On the other hand, I'm not sure if this is memorializing the legendary singer or is it just continuing to cash in.
