Peter “Hooky” Hook was the bassist for the English post-punk band Joy Division and New Order. Perhaps one of the most important artists for British post-punk, now touring with his own band The Light, he continues to sell out shows performing handfuls of classic tracks that are simply so important to fans. Humble onstage, the frontman leads his tight backing band as they begin the night with Joy Division's 'Dead Souls'.
The Unknown Pleasures tour focuses on Joy Division's two albums and a selection of New Order's discography. Beginning with a proficient rendition of six Joy Division tracks played almost back to back, the only break being the majestic 'Closer' by New Order. The audience applaud manically as they watch on beneath the gloomy stage lights as the band reanimate the hypnotic classics such as 'Atrocity Exhibition'. Continuing on from this, Peter Hook conducts his musicians in a rendition of New Order's brilliant 1986 release 'Low-Life' in full and fans simply watch in awe as they see the album brought to life.
Their encore features some of the most well known tracks from the two band's careers, the likes of New Order's 'Temptation' and 'True Faith' are performed with the synth tinged guitar led melodies and each note bounces round the room. A truly momentous performance of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' rounds off proceedings and leaves fans chattering about what they've just seen all the way out of the venue. About to embark on a huge US tour, Peter Hook plays beautiful homage to his two former bands in this intense live show, a must see.
