[kj] OT: Unknown Pleasures: A Joy Division Celebration

[GREG SLAWSON]

Sounds like a steep price to see a stuck-up bassist play songs by an overrated (although they certainly were influential) band. I'd only pay that price to see any kind of tribute to:

The Clash, Specials/Selecter/Bad Manners/Bodysnatchers/Beat, Black Flag, Minutemen, Jason and the Scorchers, Pylon/Love Tractor (Athens, Georgia), Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Stiff Little Fingers, George Jones, and of course KJ, who may one day in the distant future play a show or 2 in the US. Actually, I've seen all of the former bands except for Bodysnatchers (who I'm sure never made it to the US since they only released a couple of singles), so I know what I'm talking about!

Hi all
 
A friend was asking me if I was interested in going to see Peter Hook and Friends perform a show called Unknown Pleasures: A Joy Division Celebration. Tickets are $AUS80.
I would like to get the opinion of The Gatherers: Is this show - (a) not to be missed or (b) to be avoided?
 
Thanks
 
Geoff
