The only confirmed one is venue TBA?

oct. 7--i'll keep my calendar free. :D

Please come to Dallas Mr. Hook! :)

I wonder where he would play in Dallas.

I am so there for the 7th in Miami. The Pawn Shop is a great location.

Wow - didn't notice the Aberdeen date yesterday!

Nice one, that's right near my house.

the only one available on ticketbastard is the chicago show (as posted on ceremony) on october 2.

Got to see Hooky and Arthur Baker DJ at Mansion in South Beach for the WFTSC release party. Funny thing is was that Hook was just kind of standing around the stage before the show started (I managed to jump backstage when the bouncer wasn't looking). He was just standing there by himself, I couldn't believe it. I just walked up to him and said "Hi, Mr. Hook I am HUGE fan" and shook his hand. Stupid I know; but he was really nice and we ended up talking for about 15 min before Baker started DJing.

We talked about the new album, how much he liked working with Stephen Street, and about his rig during the JD days. He doesn't even have the same pedals anymore! He lost them or they were stolen; he can't remember. He loves Miami and was thinking about buying a condo in South Beach; I told him one was opening in my building and that if he needed to borrow a cup of sugar I'm his guy. He laughed at that.

What a fucking experience! I was on cloud nine for weeks after that.

Got this in my mail this am.

Thursday September 29th Filter Magazine, "Underground", & Virgin Atlantic present THE 240 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE TOUR feat. Peter Hook of New Order/Joy Division (DJ tour) Modernage (www.modernagemusic.net) & DJ's Matt Walter & Craig Boarman ("Underground") 8pm doors.

Nice surprise!

THis is for the Ottobar in Baltimore MD

http://www.theottobar.com/schedule.htm

See you there!

I would love some info on the Texas dates. I can't find anything out though.

I'll be there for Orlando. And it's on Saturday night! (I work six days a week) Yep, the planets were definitely aligned for this one.

Holy flurking schnitt! I live in Denton, TX - a smallish college town just north of Dallas. I can't believe Hooky will be within the city limits - I better lock up the women!

Thanks for that update Spotnik.

And are any of you from the DFW area going to be at the Denton set? If so let me know and I'll be there to buy you a beer.

No luv for Boston?:(

ORLANDO ON THE 8TH!

jesus christ! and my first night in my new apartment, as well. anyone's welcome to crash at chez wood.

Hey AgentWood - MTO here aka Justin Shurman. Nice to meet you. I'll be driving in from Jacksonville on the 8th, perhaps we can meet up.

I'll drop you an e-mail.

Nobody's up for a free beer in North Texas?

duly received, and i'll reply shortly.

Interesting...

Not sure if I should do Miami or Orlando.

Maybe both.

AgentWood, what/where is The Social?

AgentWood, what/where is The Social?

it's a small venue in downtown(ish) orlando. i've never been there, but it's known for being the 'indie' venue in orlando. i've only been to three gigs since i've lived here (2 at house of blues and one at the convention center), so it should be interesting.

I think if I remember correctly, The Social used to be Sapphire Supper Club and it is at 54 N. Orange Ave. - it's at the heart of the downtown scene, at the bottom of Orange Ave. in the downtown area - you can't miss it.

I've seen several shows there, sometimes inside, sometimes outside, I dunno what the plan is for Peter Hook though but I can tell you, an outside gig in October in Orlando might be nice so wherever it is, I'm sure people will be reprazentin'.

Does Hooky do autographs?

Anybody considering going to see Hook in Buffalo? I may be there that weekend for my pal's birthday bash. Its my hometown and most of my family still lives there.

I bet the last time a member of new order step foot in buffalo was in 87.

I am goign to try and make it to the Austin show.

is it near the I-bar, then? my knowledge of downtown orlando nightspots is appalling as i haven't lived here long enough to know that part of the city that well (i live next to universal), nor have i been interested in going out enough to care (although i did frequent the I-bar for a number of months).

What happened to the Los Angeles date?

I'll try to make Denton or Austin... I'm broken, I don't know if I'll make it at all. But hell Hooky in Texas!! I gotta move my arse down yonder.

But I've never been to either these venues or cities even. And Denton...?? What's up in Denton? Why not San Angelo or Lubbock then?

Denton is a city north of Dallas. And I will be there!

Do you know when tickets will be available for Denton (Dallas), Nic?

It looks like you can get tickets for both Orlando and Chicago on ticketmaster.com right now.

Oh, to live in the city of angels... damn it! :\ohwell:

Well I'm in Denton for one!

Denton actually has two colleges - The University of North Texas (third largest school in the state with 30K+ students, known for it's radio/TV/film school and music programs) and Texas Women's University. If there is an Austin Jr. in Texas then Denton is it.

There are over 100,000 people here so the town isn't completely off the map, but being a thirty minute drive from either Dallas or Fort Worth we are often forgotten.

BTW, my offer of a free beer to anyone showing up is still good. To my understanding there won't be advance tickets sold, but if they go on sale I'll post it here. Hailey's always has a DJ set on Thursday nights and so far they have not really advertised for this.

And sorry to anyone in Lubbock, but Hooky has far better taste than that.

Are you for real? I mean free beer. I'll be up thee!

Yeah, I'll buy a fellow fan a beer. Are you seriously coming?

markwars wrote: Yeah, I'll buy a fellow fan a beer. Are you seriously coming?

My heart is going. My feet need some engine's push, but if everything will go smoothly - I'll be there. Too bad, Jeff is not going!

C'mon, Jeff, let's join us.

Actually it's a question for me where to go to - either Denton or Austin - both are equally far away from me.

Where is he playing in Madison? Gonna make the drive from Minneapolis for the show.

Spotnick where in Madison and Milwaukee his he coming too??? I might go to all three Chicago for sure, Madison then Milwaukee, dam I'll be drunk all week long, I told myself I wouldn't drink anymore

i wonder if he'd be @ club anything in milwaukee or inferno @ madison? i doubt it though cause those places are kinda gothic/new wave/industrial clubs and those are the only places i know in wisconsin. though there is an awesome 24 hr. porn shop near Kenosha

that is probably the strangest collection of cities i have ever seen for a tour.

Denton is a "college" town...University of North Texas...about an hour north of Dallas...

i know where denton is, i just didn't know what was there. so it's dr. phil's old haunt, then.

I've never been to any of Hooky's DJ shows.

What's it like? Dance-like atomosphere?

What are some of the songs that are usually played?

I wonder if anyone is going to answer my questions.... :(

i went to the one at hiro after the NYC gig. some were dancing, some were sitting and enjoying themselves. he played a variety of music, as i recall. there were a few songs i didn't recognize, but a lot of dance and indie music from the 80s-now.

In Chicago, most people were staring to the booth and not dancing.

In New York City, Hooky was in open air on a podium, so it was much better for that. Many people were dancing, but there was plenty of room around.

as i recall, you were being quite the wallflower, nic. i should have pulled you onto the dance floor for a bit of dirty dancing. ;)

he danced in chicago :) if i recall, lisa made him. i think he ended up dancing cause he was falling asleep cause he had not slept much here and when he did it was on a shitty air matress :( sorry nic. we have a guest room and a comfy matress for you next time.

i wasn't going to go to his dj event this time around, but since it's at smartbar again & not soundbar, i'l definetly go :)

nic was definitely running on empty in new york after traveling all over and being so busy. the poor lad looked simply exhaused. we had a nice chat sitting next to the DJ booth, but i still want to see our nicos dance!

Spotnick wrote: I'm trying to get tickets for you guys.

So far I asked for Orlando and Austin, as it seems to be the only places where more than 1 person would go ;)

I'll be at the Austin show along with my wife. Complimentary tickets woudl be nice and Appreciated

Will any NOOL memebers be there, in Austin??

sweet, can you recommend any hotels close to the venue/area.

I said it before and I'll say it again...Musically I was satisfied although I think flowise he was a little erratic. Technically he needs a lot of practice.

I'm sorry but I'm a picky fuk when it comes to DJs being one myself...

I don't play an instrument for this very reason although I'm sure if I did I'd be very good at it after lots of practice.

atmosphere in NYC was OK...I was dead tired from flying back from Houston that very day.

((((e))))

i'll be at the O-Town show!

post on the orlando thread in the ceremony forum if you want to meet up for drinks beforehand.

i think it would be pointless to ask anybody if they were going to Buffalo for hooky.

were you with us over by the bar, to hooky's left? i certainly would have noticed you, believe me!

I was to hooky's left. I didnt meet any noolers because i was quite new back then.

10 NIGHTS non stop?! He's totally crazy, he is. Just try to convince Bernard to do something like this at 50! ;) Don't miss it, Hooky DJing in Turin was real fun!

i cant wait to go see hooky at denton, at least one of new order comes to texas

man. i noticed some cute guys there. were you on the staircase, by any chance?

Haileys are now working on advertising. it should be good. the resident 80s dance nite DJ on thursday will be playing before hand to get his crowd warmed up - some Hacienda classics, Madchester faves and a few NO/JD songs. i think alot of people will still enjoy the evening.

Hey someone had mentioned an unconfirmed date in Washington DC at DC9 in October? Any word on that possibility? The tour dates now seem pretty set with no DC.

Thanks,

Mickey

I'm struggling to get there. Very hoping...

Mr. Peter Hook. I gave you a CD when you DJ'd with Barney in Brighton during the Tsunami last New Years (that was way cool by the way man and thanks for the pizza snacks and the free champange...now you know why these guys are a good band)...I guess we're missing the political convention in Brighton this year...oh yeah and I met a red haired german girl the morning after the gig...(now I never see her)..go see Hooky DJ people...your life's too short to not do that man... anyways..Hooky...spin my CD..and make me big time man...--Justin Beck www.garageband.com/bioutopia

yeah

Does anybody know what the setlist for one of Peter Hook's DJ sets looks like?

You can get tix for the Denton show at www.frontgatetickets.com.

And are any of you from the DFW area going to be at the Denton set? If so let me know and I'll be there to buy you a beer.

ill see you there!

To all the people asking 'Why Denton'. Check out what else is playing that weekend at haileys.

Saturday, October 8 Wolf Eyes Prurient

Wed Oct 12 Black Dice

It's a small town with a high concentration of cool people who WILL be at good shows. That is why bands come to Denton. They usually skip the Greenville avenue frat daddy crowd to get to one thats a little more forgiving. Mark Kozelek was at Hailey's last week because he actually had to ask someone to get off their cellphone the last time he played at Gypsy Tea Room.

Peter Hook will be DJing in LA on October 29. http://www.clubbang.net/
