With Mancunians New Order about to play their first gig since 2006 (and their first ever without bassist Peter Hook), and news from back home announcing the reformation of another seminal Manchester band, the Stone Roses, it's only fitting that, on arrival in Paris, clouds are gathering and rain is beginning to fall.

The members of New Order have agreed to release the seven songs left over from the sessions for the band’s 2005 swan song Waiting for the Sirens’ Call, bassist Peter Hook tells Slicing Up Eyeballs, saying the move should help make the group’s acrimonious split “a little cleaner” and finally “draw the line” under the break-up.

NewOrderOnline.com — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 09:19:40 GMT

Hacienda Records can confirm the release of The Light’s debut EP “1102 / 2011” on Monday 9th May 2011 with the four track EP taking its name from the palindromic recording date of 11th February 2011 at Blueprint Studio, Salford.

“Pictures In My Mind” was an unfinished Joy Division track which was unearthed by the band’s “bootleg society” from a rehearsal tape stolen in 1977, setting it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures. The effervescent and punky tune has been completed for the first time by Hooky And The Light for this release.

The Light’s guest vocalist Rowetta performs three of the classic Joy Division tracks which she has been singing live with the band over the past year, “Insight, “New Dawn Fades” and “Atmosphere”, delivering intensely passionate performances across all three tracks.

Videos for “Pictures In My Mind” and “Atmosphere” have been shot and will be made available a week prior to the release on Monday 2nd May 2011.

Freebass album review

NewOrderOnline.com — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:45:39 GMT

Finally, a hard copy of Freebass’ debut album, which was previously released as digital download only, will be released in the latter part of September this year.

Maybe this was due to fans expressing their preference of holding a physical copy in their hands or maybe it was planned all along.

Whatever prompted the decision, those who enjoy having a physical copy won’t be disappointed. The release is a double CD at normal release price, featuring on the first disc, the ten digitally released tracks plus another three previously unreleased bonus tracks, “Bury Me Standing,” “Sister Surrender,” and “I’m A Believer.”

On the second CD, we’re treated to instrumental versions of all the tracks on the first half of this release. A “reasonably priced limited edition for once?” Quite possibly. One ends up with 26 tracks after all. The artwork is pretty good too.

Freebass Break Up - Mani Apologizes, Hooky Accepts

NewOrderOnline.com — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:39:59 GMT

Manchester's All-Star Bassist Super-group Freebass, consisting of New Order's Peter Hook, The Stone Roses' Mani Mounfield and The Smiths' Andy Rourke, only weeks before the release of their LP, have stated that they are no longer set to continue as a band. Freebass' debut album, It's A Beautiful Life, is scheduled to be released in Europe September 20th by Essential and worldwide December 7th by American indie label 24 Hour Service Station. The band's debut EP, Two Worlds Collide, released only a month ago through a partnership with Hook's new label Hacienda Records and 24 Hour Service Station, features vocals from The Charlatans UK singer Tim Burgess, Pete Wylie, Howard Marks & Hook.

The official statement issued by Freebass on Sept 9th reads, "Recent events have made Freebass entirely unviable as a band, and with this in mind, it has been decided that the project should be shelved, rather than placed on hiatus while members pursue their other interests. The band would like to take the opportunity to thank friends and fans for their support and interest, especially on the UK tour in June 2010. We also hope that people will enjoy the album, which concludes five years of work and treat it on its own merits. No third parties were involved or harmed in the break up."
