SECTION 25 & PETER HOOK PLAYING A SELECTION OF JOY DIVISON, NEW ORDER & SECTION 25 SONGS + KEVIN HEWICK + SCREENING OF ... JOY DIVISION (Grant Gee) + AFTERPARTY WITH o.a. PETER HOOK (JOY DIVISION/NEW ORDER) & GORE (Cruise (Ctrl))

Joy Division and Brussels. They seem perfectly suited. Not only was their first performance outside the UK in Brussels (in '79 in Plan K, to be precise), but also the idea for this full-evening programme arose last year in Brussels when Section 25 and ex-Joy Division and ex-New Order bassist Peter Hook shared a stage and got especially enthusiastic to do 'something' together. The result: a complete evening programme consisting of:

6:30 pm (Abbox)
SCREENING OF ... 'JOY DIVISION' ('07, director: GRANT GEE, 96 min.)
The average Joy Division-fan can't complain. Last year the gripping biopic 'Control' by Anton Corbijn was released, followed immediately by the documentary 'Joy Division' from excellent director Grant Gee, who sketches the history of this legendary band. ' ... another very powerful and moving film ... a MUST-SEE'. wrote The Guardian in capitals. We still know director Grant Gee from the excellent documentary 'Meeting People is Easy' about the tour-life of Radiohead and also the likes of the fantastic video clip 'No Surprises' (Radiohead).

8:00 pm (Abbox)
Kevin Hewick
When Ian Curtis gave up the ghost, the owner of Factory Records (see: Joy Division, Section 25, Happy Mondays, ...) Tony Wilson, supposedly suggested that they try working with Kevin Hewick as new singer. The only result was the track 'Haystack', recorded in 1980 with producer Martin Hannett. Hewick later worked with Peter Hook, A Certain Ratio and Adrian Borland (The Sound) and was often to be found in Factory Records circles. Now on the AB-stage, armed only with an acoustic guitar.

Section 25 & Peter Hook
PLAYING A SELECTION OF JOY DIVISON, NEW ORDER & SECTION 25 SONGS

'I'm scared to death, but it'll be great to do a full gig. I've missed playing too much! (Peter Hook)

This autumn SECTION 25 & PETER HOOK are off to play a number of concerts together, only a mini-tour. Their set will contain songs from JOY DIVISION ('Transmission', 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', 'Shadowplay', ...), SECTION 25 ('Looking From A Hilltop', 'Dirty Disco', ...), NEW ORDER ('Temptation', 'Blue Monday', 'Dreams Never End', ...) and MONACO ('What Do You Want From Me?', ...). Section 25 and Peter first performed together in '79 during the heyday of Factory Records when Section 25 often served as support-act to Joy Division. Peter Hook is of course known as the bass player to Joy Division and New Order. Section 25's first single ('Girls Don't Count') was at the time produced by Ian Curtis and they had a worldwide club-hit with the single 'Looking From a Hilltop'.

It was my first visit to AB - thank you. Lovely venue and a real memory-jerk of a night. S25 were very very good - cheers lads. Kevin was also a charming bloke, great support slot. Film - sad,poignant and perfectly made. What a cracking city Brussels is and what lovely people - Emmy and Ann from Antwerp being 2 of them......

Bien belle soirée. Du pur plaisir , bien sûr, ceux qui rêvaient de simples reprises/copies de Joy Division et New Order sont déçus mais c'était un concert de Section 25 avec Peter Hook et c'était très bien.

the death of rock 'n roll is the death of you and me....cheers section 25 & Peter Hook....a shame that there were so many androgynous beings..........

Le but n'était pas du tout de ressuciter Ian Curtis, mais de proposer un concert commun à Section 25 et Peter Hook. En fin de compte, moins d'un tiers de la set list était composée de morceaux interprétés par Curtis. Personnellement, fan de Section 25, New Order et Joy Division, j'ai adoré.

Very bad Farce macabre On ne ressucite pas Ian Curtis

Pour ma part, j'ai aimé le concert... Et que le chanteur connaisse les paroles ou non, ma foi, le plaisir était au rendez-vous pour moi... Et puis, j'étais entourée de joyeux lurons, qui ont vraiment contribué à la bonne humeur de ce concert!! Et l'afterparty était géniale!!!!

Bij het screenen van DVD's kan je eenmaal slechts uit 1 taal kiezen kwa subtitels...

J'ai trouvé cela très dommage que le documentaire ne fut pas sous-titré en français aussi ...

Mich heeft het perfect samengevat. Zang was barslecht, ze waren niet op elkaar ingespeeld,.. Toch was de muziek op momenten zalig, genieten... En dan, wat een afterparty! Hoedje af voor Peter Hook, die het publiek meteen meekreeg. We want more..

support niet gezien. Section 25....eigen nummers waren o.k. zondermeer, Joy Division en New Order nummers waren duidelijk niet of te weinig gerepeteerd en de zanger (wat een arrogante bal!) kende de teksten niet en zong erg vals. De bas van Hook is natuurlijk niet stuk te krijgen en de gitarist deed zijn ding ook met verve, de drummer kon de drumpartijen van Steven Morris écht niet aan en de keyboardspeler wist duidelijk niet wat hij moest doen. Een gemiste kans al je het mij vraagt. Onze Belgische Dead Souls had dit véél beter gekund. De afterparty in de club maakte veel goed. Peter Hook kreeg al snel de overvolle club aan het dansen en de drank en de sfeer zat er goed in. alvast een filmpje van het concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iveTJXcp6k

De meest typische bas op deze planeet overgoten met een retro Factory sausje moet wel een schitterend gerecht opleveren !

Looking from a hilltop - waiting for a concert. Can't wait! see you all there!!!!!

Documentaire de Grant Gee très bien réalisé : mise en contexte politique et sociale de Joy division + progression du groupe (archives inédites, enregistrements pirates, interviews...). À ne pas rater !

Back to Factory : creuset punk et post-punk, avec Joy Division, Section 25 et New Order - le spectre de factory records - et en fin de soirée, celui de l'Hacienda (fameux club mancunéen de 82 à 97 à l'époque de "Madchester") avec son electronic music influencée par la techno de Detroit et de l'acid house de Chicago.
