With the first date of Peter Hook And The Light’s return to The Factory on May 18th 20011 now fully sold out, the band have announced a second performance of Joy Division’s starkly passionate, seminal second album, “Closer” at the club’s intimate downstairs gig floor on the following night, Thursday 19th May.
In revisiting “Closer”, whose haunting austere atmosphere and emotive content is considered a “start to finish masterpiece”* (Pitchfork Media), both concerts will see The Light respectfully reproduce the highly esteemed album for the Joy Division fans and faithful.
With Martin Hannett’s incandescent production running throughout “Closer” and allied to a band that had developed in stature and confidence since their debut “Unknown Pleasures”, the album came to yield many classic Joy Division tracks including “Atrocity Exhibition, “Heart And Soul” and “Twenty Four Hours”.
The Light’s performance of “Closer” on the evening is also being recorded by Ronnie Lane’s mobile recording studio for a vinyl only release later in 2011.
Both the May 18th and May 19th Closer gigs continue the same charities involved in last year’s event, Mind and The Keith Bennett Appeal.
Support on the night will be up and coming Manchester band
