March 5, 2017 - PETER HOOK, founding member of legendary bands Joy Division and New Order

Summary: PETER HOOK, founding member of legendary bands Joy Division and New Order, is our special guest this Sunday night! PETER's first taste of critical and popular success with Joy Division left a lasting legacy with the classic song "Love Will Tear Us Apart," still vibrant and familiar after more than three and half decades. Following the tragic death of Joy Division's lead singer Ian Curtis on the eve of their first US Tour, PETER and the remaining members resurrected themselves into what would become one of the most influential bands of the eighties - New Order. New Order's distinctive sound - a fusion of post-punk and ground-breaking electronica - inspired and paved the way for the dance music revolution. Throughout their career, the band scaled the heights of success with huge hits including "Bizarre Love Triangle," "Perfect Kiss," "Regret" and "Blue Monday" - the biggest selling 12-inch single of all time. Yet despite their renown, the band was entrenched in a battle between the visionary and the volatile, and their relationships were often fraught with tensions. PETER's new book -"SUBSTANCE: Inside New Order" - is packed with outrageous anecdotes and is a no-holds barred, comprehensive history of New Order. PETER currently DJs internationally as well as touring both bands' music with his band Peter Hook & the Light. He also promotes The Hacienda and recent Hacienda Classical concerts all around the world. Hear our live interview with PETER HOOK this Sunday evening!
