Peter Hook launches 'Joy Division' DVD in
LA
Joy Division
and
New
Order
bassist
Peter Hook deejayed and
participated in a revealing Q&A session in
Los Angeles last night (June
17) to mark the US
release of the 'Joy Division'
documentary DVD.
The film, directed by Grant Gee,
concentrates on
Joy Division's groundbreaking sound and on
the Manchester bands tragic
frontman Ian Curtis, who
committed suicide in 1980.
"We filmed 'Joy Division'
before 'Control', and it's a
good thing we did because we wouldn't have
opened up in the same way," Hook
said, referring to Anton Corbijns
movie 'Control', which was
released in 2007.
"It's sometimes a bit too naked," Hook
said of the film. "I'd never talked about
(Curtis' death) with (guitarist) Bernard
(Sumner) or (drummer) Steve
(Morris), so to hear each of us discuss
it in the film was quite revelatory."
The documentary was shown last night at the new
Zune screening room in
Los Angeles. Zune is
commemorating its release with a digital media
player etched with designer Peter
Saville's iconic artwork from
Joy Divisions 'Unknown Pleasures'
album. The film will come pre-loaded on the
custom black Zune 80 player.
The 'Joy Division' biopic also
touches on the way the other band members dealt
with Curtis' shocking death.
"We were all so hurt we wanted to run away from
it," Hook explained after the
screening. "It was natural for us to turn our
back on
Joy Division and start
New Order. The funeral was on Thursday and
we started
New Order on Monday. It took 18 years for us
to start playing
Joy Division songs again."

Exclusive: Limited Edition Joy Division Zune Player Revealed
See the media player designed by Factory Records legend Peter Saville, which arrives June 17 with the band's much-anticipated documentary preloaded.
On June 17, Zune will release a limited edition, Joy Division-themed 80GB media player designed by legendary Factory Records artist Peter Saville and we've got the exclusive, never-before-seen photo of the special device, pictured above.
The Zune player, which utilizes an adaptation of Saville's artwork for Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, will honor the DVD release of Joy Division, a much-anticipated documentary chronicling the life of the influential but short-lived Brit post-punkers. The film will be preloaded into the special edition player.
The 80GB Joy Division player -- only 500 of whom will be sold -- will retail for $399, and will be available through zuneoriginals.net.
"Joy Division and Peter Saville share a story full of innovation," Tom Atencio, producer of the Joy Division documentary, told SPIN.com. "The band made history with their pioneering digital music. Peter Saville placed the music and the band in a visual context equally as innovative. It is completely in character for the film to be a debut Zune preload."
"Zune's involvement with the Joy Division documentary is a way of saying 'Thank You' to the band for doing what they did, and is not only a tribute to them but to an entire musical journey through Factory Records and the artists and movements it spawned," Chris Stephenson, GM Global Marketing, Zune, told SPIN.com. "It's a tribute to deep respect for graphic design that lives on through artists like Peter Saville, and to independent film-makers that believe in more than just commercial success. Ultimately it's a tribute to the self-belief and self-expression that inspires true authentic art."

LOS ANGELES -- After sitting out much of the late '90s, New Order came back in a big way in 2001 with Get Ready. On tour for the band's 2005 follow-up, Waiting For The Sirens' Call, the influential synth-pop group made a rare two-night stand at Glasgow's Carling Academy in October 2006. The celebratory shows were filmed, capturing songs that span the band's extraordinary career, including several rare performances of Joy Division favorites. Rhino highlights the very best moments from the shows with LIVE IN GLASGOW. The collection also contains a bonus disc of unreleased footage from the band's personal archives, including classic live performances filmed between 1981 and 2006. On June 24, this two-disc DVD set will be available from Rhino at all physical outlets.
ORDER HERE
Featuring 5.1 Surround Sound, LIVE IN GLASGOW highlights songs from New Order's entire career, from the band's first single "Ceremony" and its biggest hits: "Blue Monday," "Temptation" and "Bizarre Love Triangle," to a trio of Joy Division classics: "Love Will Tear Us Apart," "Transmission" and "Shadowplay." Interspersed with the live footage are short interviews with the three band members, filmed exclusively for this DVD. This release follows hot on the heels of the acclaimed Joy Division documentary, biopic Control and the recent Best Of Joy Division release from Rhino.
The bonus DVD is a treasure trove for the New Order's longtime fans, containing tracks selected from the band's archive by its drummer, Stephen Morris. Favoring shows from the band's first decade, the collection includes performances from eight different concerts, including six songs recorded at festivals in 1981 - just a year after the untimely death of Joy Division singer, Ian Curtis. Three tracks -- "Senses," "Procession" and "The Him" -- are taken from New Order's first appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.
Four more concerts from the '80s are represented on the bonus disc, such as "Ultraviolence" from Rome in 1982; "Everything's Gone Green" from the following year in Cork; seven songs from New Order's 1985 shows in Rotterdam and Toronto, including "The Village," "Age of Consent" and "Temptation"; as well as "Dream Attack" and "1963" from the band's 1989 stop at Shoreline. The bonus disc concludes with a pair of songs from the band's stunning headlining appearance at Hyde Park in 2006, including "Run Wild" and Joy Division's "She's Lost Control."
In 1980, New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division -- one of the most important British bands of all time. In the face of adversity, and against all odds, New Order went on to release eight seminal,
era-defining albums.

IAN CURTIS 1956 - 1980
 |
|
Ian
Curtis - Gone but not forgotten |
It was 28 years ago today that IAN CURTIS
ended his life, aged 23.
The driving force behind Joy Division's
dark vision, he hanged himself in his Macclesfield home as the band
rested between a European and American tour. Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot'
was found on his turntable alongside a note which read "at this very
moment, I wish I were dead. I just can't cope anymore".
Joy Division ceased to be - they had
always said they would draw a line beneath the band if any member left. The
three remaining members( Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and
Stephen Morris) regrouped as New Order during early 1981 (Morris
girlfriend Gillian Gilbert joined on keyboards) and continue to enjoy
commercial success and critical acclaim.
In March
2005 with Peter Hook
in Macclesfield visiting Ian Curtis grave,
Some Pictures for you.

Warner Music Entertainment to release "New Order: Live in Glasgow
On 2nd June (UK) Warner Music Entertainment will release "New Order: Live in Glasgow", a live DVD of the bands celebratory concert filmed at Carling Academy,
Glasgow in October 2006. Filmed over two nights it features tracks and footage highlighting the band's extraordinary career, as well as including a number of Joy Division songs. In addition to this concert, there will be a bonus disc featuring never-seen-before footage from bands personal archive and live performances from throughout the 1980s, showcasing the bands early Glastonbury
performance through to their self-assured big tour concerts of later years, climaxing in their stunning performance headlining Wireless 2006.
This DVD brings all these elements together for the first time, into one comprehensive package. It follows hot on the heels of the acclaimed Joy Division biopic Control and their recent Best Of.
New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division - one of the most important British bands of all time after the tragic death of their singer, Ian Curtis. In the face of adversity, and against all odds for a band whod lost such a charismatic frontman, they went on to release eight seminal, era-defining albums. To achieve this status once, is an incredible feat, but to achieve it twice, which they did with the success of Joy Division and New Order, is truly remarkable.

An interview with Stephen Morris
New Order, rock legends and inspiration to thousands of bands, are bringing out a new concert DVD. Compiled by Peter Hook and Stephen Morris, this DVD sees the band both at their 21st century best and also collects a unique selection of live performances from their extraordinary career. We filmed two nights in Glasgow, which is always a good idea with New Order, says Stephen Morris, explaining the DVDs warts-and-all feel. In the past when weve done live DVDs theres always been a bit of fixing up but weve not bothered with this one! Because as Rob Gretton our former manager used to say: its just a moment in time, caught forever. And sometimes the mistakes are more interesting.
The DVD is punctuated with a series of short, sharp interviews with band members. Watching an entire concert is a bit gruelling, says Stephen. And the idea of breaking it up by doing interviews was very interesting. We were all interviewed separately but we all ended up carrying on from what the other person was saying. Also Glasgow was where Bernard did smash up the dressing room in a fit of pique and we cant go back to Barrowlands! Banned from the clubs! Its very interesting the rocknroll banter of Bernard and Hooky and myself.
This concert is notable for a very large amount of Joy Division songs, something New Order once avoided strongly. When we first started as New Order, wed made this blanket decision that we werent going to play Joy Division songs and nobody could mention Joy Division in our presence, says Stephen, And so we just didnt play Joy Division numbers until 1998 when we decided to get back and do some gigs, and we all wondered why wed never played any Joy Division songs! Because theyre all great songs.
Much of the bonus material is from Morris own collection, if cupboard is another word for collection. But without this dusty archive, wed be deprived of some excellent footage. Im glad I found all that stuff. I bunged it onto DVD and me and Gillian sat down one Saturday and we thought, Oh, its good this! I could watch this all night. And its not very often you can say that.

The collaboration between blank+jones and Bernard Sumner, of Joy Division, New Order and Electronic, is called Miracle Cure, and it is the first song to be taken from this years very special blank+jones album of beats, treats and collaborations, The Logic of Pleasure.
- Bernard Sumner is high on the list, if not the highest, of those musicians, writers and singers that have influenced blank+jones fascination with mood, intoxication, romance and rhythm.
- The combination of the sure, vibrant blank+jones and the enigmatic, iconic and tender voiced Bernard Sumner is naturally a dream, as Sumners fragile yet bouyant melancholia slips beautifully into, and out of, blank and jones very own electronic sense of the epic.
- The collaboration is the sensational result of electronic communication involving email and MP3 set up during 2007. Sumner wrote and sung his part after completing work with New Order on the soundtrack for Anton Corbijns award winning film about Joy Division, Control.
- Miracle Cure will appear as the song it is and also as a brilliantly arranged series of energising/lounging uptown, down town and across town mixes from the blank+jones studio, and also from Manchester born Berlin based hypno-trance pioneer Mark Reeder, the currently on fire electro-obsessive Canadian Glenn Morrison, the prolific trancefrenzied German master Martin Roth, the Anglo-German electro-adventurers Onetwo and Scandinavian chilltronica club kings Lulu Rouge.
- It says something about the reputation and ability of blank+jones that the discriminating Sumner, a genius of melody, wished to work with blank+jones, and that the collaboration has produced a song that can live with the best of Sumners ingenious, smart and infectious pop songs.
- More news soon about the ninth blank+jones album The Logic of Pleasure and the records various enterprising collaborations, including Miracle Cure with Bernard Sumner.
Release dates for Miracle Cure Single:
May 30 - Worldwide
June 2 - UK
Release dates for The Logic of Pleasure:
June 9 - UK

for giving me such an incredible opportunity
and Harry, James, Craig and Joe and Samantha

 The
Acceptance Speech
Anton Corbjin
"Musically, I was very inspired by England -
it's the reason I ever moved here. The
soundtrack was a joy to put together, there
was so much choice of music, I even managed
to put a Dutch band in there, I'd like to
point that out. As far as the film goes, I
have to go back to New Order because not
only did we use existing music but we also
had a score that was done by Bernard and New
Order, which is very rare for them to do and
I'm very grateful to them. The last music
they ever made is one the CD.
"Also on the CD, we have real musicians,
New Order are real musicians I'm sorry, real
actors who became real musicians who
performed all the songs live and one of
those takes is also on the album. The movie
wouldn't have been half as good if they'd
played against playback and having James,
Sam and Joe playing everything live, I'd
especially like to thank them because they
really forced me to film them live and I
think that's one of the best things that
they did to me.
"Thank you very much, I really loved
making this film, thank you."
