PETER HOOK- MILWAUKEE/MADISON, WISCONSIN (Meet-up)

Well I encourage all New Order fans to check out Peter Hook in either Madison or Milwaukee, after all it was in November of 1986 since Peter Hook and the rest of New Order has stepped foot in Wisconsin for a performance. I will be attempting to coordinate a meet before Peter's DJ set in Milwaukee. I have no idea where Peter will perform in Madison, however I'm quite confident that in Milwaukee it would be Madplanet or Shank Hall, once a venue is announced I'll suggest a meeting point in the coming weeks. The 2005 NYC DJ set from Peter, ROCKED!!! He had everyone dancing.....Hope to see everyone there and(dancing as well)!!

Hey how do you go about that????? Asking for a meeting with him????

I think you misinterpreted my post. In the past fans of neworderonline.com would meet up somewhere before the gig. I’m not suggesting Peter Hook will be there, that’s wishful thinking.

Brian

I will look into the Mantra lounge, as soon as I find something out I'll let everyone know

PETER HOOK OF NEW ORDER/JOY DIVISION

TUESDAY OCTOBER 4TH @ MANTRA LOUNGE – 1905 E North Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 9PM - 2AM 21+

PETER HOOK

We are very proud to have Mr. Peter Hook...the legenday bass player of New Order/Joy Division/Revenge/Monaco dropping into Milwaukee for a very rare DJ appearance alongside Chicago’s Brad Owen (Smart Bar)

The pioneering sounds of the highly influential English bands Joy Division and New Order were dominated by the droning bass lines of Peter Hook. In the late '70s, Hook's ominous bass enabled Joy Division to carve portraits of profound despair. Although the late Ian Curtis' harrowing lyrics and downcast vocals are often credited for Joy Division's bleak beauty, many of the group's songs were driven by Hook's sinister, throbbing bass. While badly tuned guitars were the rage during the punk era in late-'70s England, Hook's bass playing instilled the importance of rhythm in punk rock, helping to inspire a generation of dance-oriented new wave bands. After Ian Curtis hanged himself on May 18, 1980, Hook joined the other surviving members of Joy Division in New Order.

In 1990, Hook released One True Passion with his side project Revenge. Collaborating with David Hicks (guitar, keyboards) and Chris Jones (keyboards), Hook combined elements of techno and hard rock with Revenge; Hook also sang. But Revenge was nowhere near as commercially and critically successful as Joy Division or New Order. Hook recorded one more LP with Revenge, 1992's Gun World Porn, before returning to New Order on their 1993 album, Republic.

With New Order on hiatus, Hook teamed up with vocalist David Potts and released Music for Pleasure as Monaco in 1997. Instead of shifting away from New Order's distinctive sound, Hook Xeroxed it for Monaco; Potts even sounded oddly similar to New Order's Bernard Sumner. However, the album startled fans and critics with its well-crafted pop; the track "What Do You Want From Me?" even became a hit in clubs and on alternative radio stations. Monaco split up after a record-label indifference temporarily shelved their self-titled second album; Monaco was finally released in 2000 and Hook rejoined New Order.

New Order’s latest album, ‘Waiting For The Sirens Call’ was released in April of 2005 and is available now.

More Info Coming Soon . . . . .

I can't take credit for bringing him here, James asked me about it and I was like "YES Please!!! New Order's my favorite band!!!" etc.... but I didn't do any grunt work except boss some of my friends into going last night.

So what was he playing? Let's have a set list details people!
