Hacienda Records can confirm the release of The Light’s debut EP “1102 / 2011” on Monday 9th May 2011 with the four track EP taking its name from the palindromic recording date of 11th February 2011 at Blueprint Studio, Salford. “Pictures In My Mind” was an unfinished Joy Division track which was unearthed by the band’s “bootleg society” from a rehearsal tape stolen in 1977, setting it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures. The effervescent and punky tune has been completed for the first time by Hooky And The Light for this release. The Light’s guest vocalist Rowetta performs three of the classic Joy Division tracks which she has been singing live with the band over the past year, “Insight, “New Dawn Fades” and “Atmosphere”, delivering intensely passionate performances across all three tracks. Videos for “Pictures In My Mind” and “Atmosphere” have been shot and will be made available a week prior to the release on Monday 2nd May 2011.

Freebass album review
Finally, a hard copy of Freebass’ debut album, which was previously released as digital download only, will be released in the latter part of September this year. Maybe this was due to fans expressing their preference of holding a physical copy in their hands or maybe it was planned all along. Whatever prompted the decision, those who enjoy having a physical copy won’t be disappointed. The release is a double CD at normal release price, featuring on the first disc, the ten digitally released tracks plus another three previously unreleased bonus tracks, “Bury Me Standing,” “Sister Surrender,” and “I’m A Believer.” On the second CD, we’re treated to instrumental versions of all the tracks on the first half of this release. A “reasonably priced limited edition for once?” Quite possibly. One ends up with 26 tracks after all. The artwork is pretty good too.

Freebass Break Up - Mani Apologizes, Hooky Accepts
Manchester's All-Star Bassist Super-group Freebass, consisting of New Order's Peter Hook, The Stone Roses' Mani Mounfield and The Smiths' Andy Rourke, only weeks before the release of their LP, have stated that they are no longer set to continue as a band. Freebass' debut album, It's A Beautiful Life, is scheduled to be released in Europe September 20th by Essential and worldwide December 7th by American indie label 24 Hour Service Station. The band's debut EP, Two Worlds Collide, released only a month ago through a partnership with Hook's new label Hacienda Records and 24 Hour Service Station, features vocals from The Charlatans UK singer Tim Burgess, Pete Wylie, Howard Marks & Hook. The official statement issued by Freebass on Sept 9th reads, "Recent events have made Freebass entirely unviable as a band, and with this in mind, it has been decided that the project should be shelved, rather than placed on hiatus while members pursue their other interests. The band would like to take the opportunity to thank friends and fans for their support and interest, especially on the UK tour in June 2010. We also hope that people will enjoy the album, which concludes five years of work and treat it on its own merits. No third parties were involved or harmed in the break up."

BAD LIEUTENANT CANCELS REMAINING U.S. CONCERT DATES
With air travel out of the UK and Europe still at a standstill, and conditions predicted to deteriorate further due to the huge cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull, the members of Bad Lieutenant and their management have come to the disappointing decision to cancel their Chicago and New York dates that had been set to take place on Monday, April 19 and Wednesday, April 21, respectively. “We’re stuck in Manchester,” said Bad Lieutenant’s Bernard Sumner. “We were hoping that conditions might change at the last minute and we’d be able to come and play for our fans. Obviously, this is a situation out of everyone’s control, and we are crushed that we won’t be coming to America for these dates.” Since British air space was closed on Thursday morning, the band also canceled their planned appearances in San Francisco last night and today at the Coachella festival near Palm Springs, CA. Refunds will be available for ticket holder at the point of purchase.

New The Other Two Websites Launched
http://theothertwo.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/theothertwoandyou http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Other-Two/240410532611 LTM present expanded CD editions of two albums by The Other Two, the electronic pop duo comprising Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New Order. The Other Two came into being in 1990, spurred by Morris and Gilbert’s work on television soundtracks, and a temporary lull in New Order activity in which Electronic and Revenge also released albums. First album The Other Two & You features ten original synth-pop gems produced by the duo with Stephen Hague, with surprise vocals by Gillian, showcased on the singles Tasty Fish and Selfish. Originally scheduled for release on Factory Records in late 1992, The Other Two & You was delayed by the collapse of the label, and instead emerged on London in 1993. This expanded edition features all tracks from the original Factory/London album as well as six bonus tracks from companion singles, including superb mixes by Moby, Pascal Gabriel and Boys Own.

Peter Hook: An Evening Of Unknown Pleasures
Peter Hook - legendary bass-slinger with two of the most influential bands in British pop music history, Joy Division and New Order – has always been out there on his own somehow, as an artist, an icon and as the architect of his own oblivion. Having recently reinvented himself as a respected DJ, author and raconteur, Hooky tours intimate UK theatres this April / early May with Howard Marks in a conversational, musical and audience based show that sees the duo open up about their rock and roll shenanigans and pasts. Clutching some cherished memories and rock memorabilia, the celebrated musician, scribe and mouthpiece will be fessing up, pouring forth and telling all to Howard Marks, including the tragi-comic tale of the Manchester nightclub, The Hacienda, and the two seminal groups that paid for it. Hooky will also be playing various bass numbers, be open to a Q&A with audience members and plans to bring along unseen footage of Joy Division, New Order, The Hacienda, various out-takes from Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People.

Redeveloped, re-crafted and entirely redesigned for the start of a new decade, Factory Records infamous central Manchester offices reopen as a nightclub, FAC 251 “The Factory,” on 5th February 2010, mixing live bands, indie and dance influences across three different floors for Manchester’s and the UK’s gig and club goers. A joint venture between New Order and Joy Division’s Peter Hook and established club operators Tokyo Industries (14 venues across the UK including the award winning Digital in Newcastle and Brighton and the Tokyo Mansion Party venues, Tokyo Industries managing director Aaron Mellor is a long time Factory Records aficionado, having begun his club career on the Haçienda dance floor and later DJ’ing at Stonelove at the Haçienda in the mid-nineties.
