Pretty much confirmed as this is his NA agent's site http://www.amonly.com/artists/PeterHook/

Yep... as usual, nowhere near Atlanta. Feh.

may have to make it out to the San Francisco one, if they'll let me in!

Hmmm, Jan 5 in Chicago looks good. Just hope the missus doesn't go into labour about then, due Jan 10. Maybes I'll bring her along to to get the little one rumbling in the womb to the bass god himself.

9 gigs in 10 days. I hope he's in shape for this....

Edit: Oh my f***g god.. I'm not sure I'll go there:

Known around Montreal as one of the most happening male gay bars in town, the Club Parking on Amherst Street invites you to park yourself in for a night of hardcore partying.

"hardcore partying"? that should give you some votes for biggest gayer

I might possibly make it down to SF, the 7th is on a Sunday.

Hilarious! Better watch your back-side there Spotty!

Darn was hoping Hooky would makee it back to Ottobar in Baltimore again....

he was there two times in six months last year

fuck not that hiro place again.

Bollocks! I arrive in Vegas exactly one week later.

Ok, I'm about to ask a stupid question.... but what hapens when Hooky DJs? Is it normal club atmosphere with a well-known dj, or is there something more? Would want to go to the LA one, but want to know what I'm looking forward to and what to expect....

Ok, you can hit me with a bunch of rotten vegtables now.

WOW. This REALLY gives me something to think about. I'm currently 18, I just got a job, and I would definitely be able to save up a bit of money to fly down to Calgary to see Hooky. This is such a perfect oppurtunity too- Calgary is in the only Province that I'd be able to get into a club, Peter Hook or New Order rarely come to Canada and I wouldn't be in school and I'd be able to get off work.

Damn, my head is absolutely spinning right now. The whole experience of travelling down there would be incredible and something that I really, really do not want to miss.

But yeah, what's the whole club experience exactly all about, anyway? I'd hate to finally get down there only to get rejected by the bouncers for not being hip enough.

...Isn't that the word the kids are using these days? 'Hip'?

ahm Mr Hook spins some records. If you look at the for the Joy Division thread you'll see him in action.

I'm in the same osition. What does the Hookster play? I heard about him playing Grace Jones' 'She's lost control' which is (a) the first ever JD cover and (b) appalling.

PETER HOOK AT PARKING.

oh my lanta

i didnt read the rest of the posts.

Parking is perfect for Hooky.

DJ Mini has THE best electro night in these parts (which is when he is spinning); it's an awesome venue for a dj to play a mid-size crowd; awesome sound system; awesome crowd.

and spotter... Thursday is a mixed night, so you dont have to worry.

Holly S**t!!!!!!

He's coming to Calgary?!?!?!?!?

January 9, 2007 Hi-Fi Club Calgary, Alberta/CAN

Is anybody else going or am I going to have Hooky to myself?

Hey Jack, tell Hooky if he wants a home cooked meal, he can come over for Dinner. :p

I never herd of the Hi-Fi club so I'm going to have to look this one up. This is totally crazy.

I missed him last time in Texas - for the most embarassing reason - my car broke down right a day before the gig. :(

I wish I could redeem it by seeing him somewhere in the southwest again.

January 7, 2007 Supper Club San Francisco, CA

yay!

Can't wait. Maybe he'll give us another listen to a new track. Though I really hope we hear some new stuff before then!

saw him in Vancouver in March and he was spot on, might make the Calgary set as i have to go east that week. looks like a hectic schedule he has lined up, I'm sure the lad can do it.

As usual nowhere near Winnipeg.

The next question now is, Do you need tickets? How to get tickets? Or can you just show up?

This is awesome! I saw him by accident at Smart Bar in Chicago last spring and it was probably one of the best nights at a club I have had. The best part about it is that it was on a tuesday night and there were only like 35 people there so it was really easy to get autographs and pictures and stuff. He played typical dance/techno stuff with some old punk tunes for fun. He ended with a 45 minute set of New Order related artists (NO,JD,Electronic,Monico,Chemical Brothers,etc) which was super cool. Everyone went nuts when Hooky's heavy base parts came on.

Really he plays Electronic. Cool.

Does he sell anything? I think a Hooky World DJ Tour shirt would be cool.

Parking Club / Montreal

Bring your own wife type of place.

I'll be there!

Will definitley be there in Toronto as I live 15 mins away.

Let's see.. N.Y or Montreal. I'll bring my wife to Montreal so as Spotnick says I'll be 'safe' (ha haa!!) and N.Y can also be a blast but I might need Mace or Pepper Spray...maybe some Bear Repelant. This is a tossup.

Bollocks!! Me & ness are over in Toronto until the 8th and he gets there on the 14th. Ah well I'm sure we will see him again soon in blighty:(

Hooky's a great DJ. So is Barney...don't forget your turntable skills Mr. Sumner...!!

Steve..when you gonna try this?

Yay! Ottawa!! It's funny you mention that about the bar in Montreal..because Club Helsinki has an extremely popular gay night as well...I've been there twice, once on said night for a friend's birthday. It's actually kind of small, but cozy. They have great martinis :)

So are there tickets or what??? Anyone know? I'm definitely going :)

How does one get tickets for this? We may try the Hiro ballroom in NY, as we live in Washington, DC--that is the closest venue. Would welcome any comments......Noticed someone mentioned, "oh no, not the Hiro again..." Anything we should know?

tickets for the chicago date are on ticketmaster...but only chicago

why no detroit date? Detroit invented techno

maybe I can make the Windsor show. Why couldn't it be on a FRiday or Sat?

saw hooky in bangkok earlier this yoear he's fantastic, better than a New Order gig for my money.

Cheers

Know if he's headed for Asia again soon ?

come on Nicos, surely you ain't gonna be afraid to go just because it's at a gay bar? Fookin'ell, you listen to gay disco all the time...

:kiss:

Well I thought the same...but well to see Hooky djin' I will do anything really, I'm afraid...lol:)

Going to the Los Angeles date....3rd time seeing him DJ. 1st time too drunk to remember....2nd time awesome!!! Looking forward to this next one!!

Bugger, I'm in Toronto now until 4th Jan and Hooky is here 10 days after that. Very annoying!!

I'll definitly be there. Will try to meet him to to ask some musical questions but not if it's a lot of trouble... I'm pretty lazy.

I'm considering going to the San Francisco date. Is anyone else here going?

Hey guys - Toronto's set has been moved to the Ultra Supper Club...

I emailed them to make sure...

"The Peter Hook event has been confirmed. Tickets will be sold at the door on the evening of the event and the price will be determined that evening."

I like their Evite... http://www.ultrasupperclub.com/flash/hookink/evite.html

...... Hey everyone just wanted to know how the event in Toronto went because i couldnt get in... I was unaware of the aparent need to be on the guest list :(

hm, I saw people getting in that weren't on the guest list...luckily my boyfriend had some connections and got us and my friend on the list.

Was a great night! I got two pics of myself by the dj stand and an autograph :) a little awkward for dancing I found though, with all the tables and furniture around.

Did I make a bad mistake in moving from California to North Carolina. I will never see him in concert again!!!!

I had the chance to go see Hooky at the Ultra Supper Club I had a great time there not to mention that I had the chance to see him. I will always treasure those pics that he signed of him from over the years. I am such a proud Hooky fan I personally think he's a great bassist and a great DJ he sure kept everyone dancing this a night I don't want to forget.
