This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

To recognise and pay tribute to the 25th anniversary of the death of Ian Curtis, your favourite Joy Division tribute band and successful Community contestants Digital and your favourite New Order tribute band Re: Order will be playing in London.

Thursday May 19th - the Spread Eagle in Shoreditch. 2 Kingsland Road, London E2 (junction of Old Street, Kingsland Road and Hackney Road).

Free admission. We will be playing a set containing some JD Classics and a few surprises. Re: Order will be playing some JD Classics and some NO classics. Will Digital play Working Overtime before New Order do? Will Will remember the third verse to She's Lost Control without an autocue?

We'll have copies of both the Community LP and EP on sale should anyone want one who hasn't managed to pick one up yet.

See you there!

Any news on t'nothern gigs Tim?

Made lots of contacts with people, trying to sort out dates. It's a case of getting a Friday in one town and the next night in another, and given our New Order-following commitments this summer, there ain't many windows of opportunity!

I don't believe this. Kensington is just up the District Line from me, but I'm going to be on holiday in Cornwall on May 20th. Tim, one day i'll make it, just you see.

You should do a show around Dublin when you are over here for Oxegen.

It's only me coming from the band though, and I'm only staying the Sunday night! Quite happy to do an impromptu acoustic set at the festival though if someone brings an acoustic guitar, just around the racecourse grounds.

How about May 19th then? Us opening for Re: Order at Hoxton. We're playing the ones that don't usually get much of a look-in!

OK then, there is also Kilburn in July, and probably Glasgow in July as well, plus some other ones still being finalised. Don't think there will be any London gigs between the 8th July and September though. I am trying to sort something out for the night before Hyde Park as well.

Thursday May 19th - the Spread Eagle in Shoreditch (with Re: Order).

Free admission. We will be playing a set containing some JD Classics and a few surprises. Will Digital play Working Overtime before New Order do?

Friday May 20th - West One Four in Kensington (headline slot, supported by Afterglow, Bitch Pups and The Healing Fields).

Tickets £6 on the door or in advance from the band. This will be a full set of all your favourites.

See you there!

Oh, I hope they come to the U.S.! Maybe even open up for New Order in Chicago. :clap:

Is the mooted Glasgow show a double header with re: Order or just your fellas, Tim?

Just us, doing both a New Order and a JD set. It's likely to be more September than July now. We are looking out for a second Scots show as well - know anywhere in Aberdeen?

This gig next Thursday with Re: Order is a one-off, which came about when we both independently approached the promoters to pay our respects to Ian Curtis.

There won't be any future shows featuring both bands. The material is too similar for the two bands to have total freedom over what we play. I can't imagine the punter would be too happy with either band if we both played what we want to, which seems to be the same songs! Both bands see themselves as playing both JD and NO stuff - we've only done the all-JD set when we have played with Re: Order before, on the understanding that they would be playing an all-NO set. There is no understanding to that effect at Shoreditch, both bands will be playing a mixture of songs, with no duplication of songs. Punters will get around 30 different tracks played by the two bands, I would think!

Our Kilburn show in July will consist of two sets, a mixed JD/NO set (brand new NO, no less!) and a JD classics set. Not gonna tell you in which order so that people get there for both sets!

How much will the Community LP/EPs cost?

I think we can do them for £7 for the EP and £10 for the LP, maybe less. Depends on how many beers have gone down by then!

Tell you what, if you can persuade Jim Reilly Jim Reilly to sign them, with his own name, you can have the EP buckshee!

Tim - if you're serious about an Aberdeen show then these are your best bets:

  1. The Tunnels, Carnegies Brae / East Green – 01224 211 121

This is a fantastic, brand spanking new venue: capacity approx. 450

  1. Cafe Drummonds: website http://www.cafedrummond.co.uk/content/about.asp

Nice place with bands on every night of the week

3)Dr Drakes - www.drdrakesbar.co.uk

Very intimate (ie - fucking tiny) place down by the harbour so you can get gang raped by oil workers in town for a bit of R&R.

Hope you make it up!!

Can I ask probably a daft question? Why does a Joy Division tribute band want to play Crystal or Krafty for example? Quite a few people who come to watch you won't like New Order?? I know I'd prefer to hear to hear just JD material.

But we're not just a JD tribute band - we are as much a New Order tribute band. Both the songs we had on the Community releases were New Order ones, we have recorded as many NO as JD. We've only done all-JD sets when appearing with Re: Order, on the grounds that they would be doing the NO ones. Other gigs have seen mixed sets - because we play the songs live rather than relying on sequencers and pre-recorded backing tracks there is more of a lean towards the guitar/live keyboard ones.

This Spread Eagle gig sees no agreement with Re: Order as to who will be playing what. Re: Order have told us what they will be doing from the JD catalogue, and our responsibility to the audience is to play some varied material that encapsulates the full range of the JD back catalogue, so that we don't get two versions of LWTUA etc played on the night. We may also decide to play the NO songs we have recorded at the Spread Eagle - as we will be promoting the releases containing us that are available for sale on the night.

We'd have no qualms at all about throwing Crystal or Krafty into the set if we'd rehearsed them (as it happens we haven't), but we have rehearsed a whole load of other NO songs, some of which will be appearing tomorrow night. This is the last gig that will see Digital and Re: Order on the same bill, so as we see it we are essentially free to play whatever we like from the combined JD/NO repertoire. We've worked hard on rehearsing and arranging the songs, which is all the justification we need to be entitled to play them!

Fair enough, I didn't know you were supposed to be a New Order cover aswell. I've never seen you play without RO, but will do in July.

I wasn't particularly referring to the gig tomorrow - it was just a genuine question. I am not arguing from the corner of Re:Order, as I am not in the band of course.

See you tomorrow.

Must admit, I thought you were JD only as well as your signature blocker indicates, plus your web site states...

You may know us as Known Pleasures, a band from South London, UK that specialises in recreating the sounds of Joy Division.

But then I also thought Re: Order were NO only [plus a few selected JD tracks that NO play live nowadays].

Anyways, no matter, the more NO/JD cover bands the merrier.

You'll have to excuse the Cure cover!

Well yes the original plan may have been to do JD stuff when we started, but as we all like NO and have recorded (and sold!) their stuff then there's no reason really why we shouldn't promote our versions of NO stuff.

At the end of the day, it's all about playing good music and enjoying it. And we do.

We understand that doors open at 7pm, and that we will be on at 8.30. Re: Order will be on at 10.00 (though I stand corrected on this), which gives them up to 4 hours for their set.

Just got back, left near the end of Re: Order's "Everything's Gone Green". Was Al Jarvis the guy with the pink sunglasses and slight bald patch whilst wearing a suit? I was there by myself, don't know, I was sober and tired, just didn't make me feel happy. Digital were ok, the guitaring was quiet for the first few songs and couldn't really hear it from the back. I think they turned it up from Disorder onwards. I remember the vocalist kept 'fighting' with the microphone. Don't know what two New Order tracks they played with the bassist on vocals, any ideas? However, I thought RE: Order were fucking awesome. New Dawn Fades pretty summed up their performance, great guitarwork and vocals. The bassist was pretty cool too, I remember when he kept messing up on Dreams Never End. And he did look like a young Hooky, which was bizarre. They played some New Order songs [about 3 I think, definitely the songs either side of NDF] I didn't recognize, I only knew DNE, EGG, Age Of Consent and Your Silent Face. Quite a good gig.

I must've missed those two songs or didn't recognize them. I think I missed them as I didn't see any guest singers before I left. It sucked that I had to leave during EGG though. Still a great time.

Twas a great night, many thanks to all those who came along, and to Volunteer and the Spread Eagle for the promotion.

Fighting the mic stand! Hardly surprising really, as it was electrocuting me every time I tried to sing on songs that also featured me on guitar!!! It also had one broken foot and wasn't on a level, so it was more a case of trying to keep it on the stage and in one place, rather than fighting it. We couldn't hear anything at all on stage coming from the amps - without being through the PA it was impossible to tell levels etc, we were relying on the audience to tell us if the guitar was too quiet!

For those who weren't there but take an interest in this sort of thing, the Digital set was:

Incubation (introduced as Shellshock after a particularly vicious blood-drawing shock from the mic as we were about to start playing) Shadowplay Wilderness 24 Hours Disorder A Means To An End Passover She's Lost Control Exercise One Leave Me Alone (with Jim on vocals) Love Vigilantes (Community version, with Jim on vocals) Ceremony (dedicated to Al Jarvis's birthday and Ian Curtis)

Superb night, great to see everyone and top perfomances by the bands! It was good to talk to people whos knowledge of New Order extends beyond didnt they do the football song? for a change. Driving from London to Salisbury this morning with a thumping headache wasnt too much fun though, thats too much Carling for you!

Hope to see everyone at Hyde Park and if anyones going to the re: Order gig in Ashton-under-Lyme in September i`ll be there. Might be at one of the Germany gigs too, the one near Hamburg (forgotten which festivals which. Will try and post pics of the gigs soon.

Big thank yoy to Al and his mates, Ness and her other half, Don, Mr Disco and to all who came bringing your support. It was nicely packed in the Spread Eagle so it was a lot of fun to play. Sorry Marc if you didn't know the two songs I sang. (I'll make a note to do better next time!) Apologies to Re Order for leaving early but thanks again for the use of your backline.

He would have to have a 64" pink tie to set the whole ensemble off - we'd have got HIM up for pole dancing.

It was nicely packed in the Spread Eagle so it was a lot of fun to play. Sorry Marc if you didn't know the two songs I sang. (I'll make a note to do better next time!) Apologies to Re Order for leaving early but thanks again for the use of your backline. Your first couple of numbers sounded blinding :thumb:

:bag:

It's no problem I just don't know that many New Order songs at the moment. So you were the Digital bassist who took up half the stage imitating Hooky with a lowbass?

Anyone see the guy who danced to Transmission and Ceremony by Re: Order wearing the Siouxsie t-shirt. Hahaha.

I wasn't wearing an earring. I was at the back whilst Digital played wearing my coat and red Joy Division shirt [big Unknown Pleasures logo and Joy Division in big text above it]. I moved closer to the front for Re: Order, stood near the bar.

Did anyone take any photos of either set? I've got some of our set, but would be interested in seeing any more that may exist. I'm guessing nobody taped it!

Sorry for the bump but I saw some girl tape it, near to the left of the stage and cheers for the setlist.

Yes, it was Jane, they video all the gigs, but whether they ever let anyone see it is another thing. Occasionally you find a few snippets on their site http://www.thieveslikeus.co.uk/gigsheader.html
