Inspired by the Sex Pistols' first Northern England date at Manchester's Lesser Free Trade Hall on June 4, 1976, Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook formed Joy Division with Ian Curtis joined also by Steven Morris. For a year or so, they were Manchester scene outcasts. By 1980, Joy Division were England's hottest group, famous for the intensity of each performance and the power of their songs. Their dark persona wasn't how they were offstage, but this persona was sealed in myth with Ian Curtis' suicide in May, 1980.
