Joy Division Tribute - Transmission + 1000 Planets - Killing Joke Set


Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. More than 20 years on you can still relive the dark cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission one of the leading UK tribute bands.

Are you sure it was because they were so good? ;-)

Does anyone else find tribute bands a bit weird and creepy?
If Killing Joke split and a tribute band appeared who replicated their
sound exactly, and were able to do it live, would anyone here go and see them?
I know I wouldn't. I'd find it deeply depressing.
It all does my head in. I don't see the point. I just listened to the Joy Div sngs
on that band's myspace and yes, they seem to do note-perfect renditions
of the songs... but so what?

Like I say, I don't get it...

N, confused in Oslo (where it's snowing and -20C but everyone still
goes to work, sadly).
