At first I thought 'How not to run a club' is just a fancy sub-title, but as it turns out it is actually hard to believe that these events actually happened for real. Related Articles.

Well I say his story. Everyone's account of those days differ wildly. Most popular. Well, actually, that's exactly what we did. Extremely readable and a great account of the role the Hacienda played in the Manchester music scene for the 15 years it was open from - The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club Writer Yes, that's the New Order tale, but the two things — band and nightclub —are eternally twined and you can't tell one story without the other. As it is, the book tells a fantastic story that if it were fiction, it would be likely you wouldn't believe it. And, above all, do it in Manchester. The Hacienda is a fascinating time and place in music history, a glorious, deeply culturally important financial disaster of a nightclub that, for a moment, was the most important place in the world. Minor gripe: In this mass market paperback edition — the photos included at the end of the book and the print quality thereof, is a very poor reproduction presumably better in the original hardback edition. The audience was mesmerised, and the club staff had to wrestle it away from them. On Tony's insistence. I remember why I didn't like Scallys and they didn't like students. Finally Hooky, and the rest of the band, had to take more of an interest in the way the club was being run. While an entertaining read, I found this to be the weakest of Hook's three books. They make a pretty good reading list. But from it became the centre of acid house and rave party culture. No real colour, or detail or emotion apart form flippancy. Factory was the absolute worst at business; they had brilliant ideas, but at the expense of any financial stability. Sometimes in fact and always in opinion. Bouncers became violent.

Maybe he wasn't surprised for the lack of respect the staff showed the Profit and Loss side of the club. This book is a tonne of fun, you don't have to be a music nerd to get into it. Gretton tried everything possible to keep the club afloat, but with Factory now bankrupt and investors turned away by the security needs, there was no option. But with paradise comes violence and criminals. I had to give this book three stars as I was under impression that I am sitting in some pub in Manchester and Hooky is telling a story, still bitter from realizing how much money he actually lost running a club, yet at the same time extremely proud of doing it.

The extent to which you might enjoy it will probably be related to the extent to which the subject matter interests you. Seemingly endless tax problems. The book feels like sitting down with a friend and reminiscing in the most informal of settings. I just couldn't help laughing hard at some stories. But then, as Wilson remarked: "Some people make money, others make history. Other editions. Peter Hooks account is workmanlike and efficient, sporadically entertaining and comprehensive. Showing As young and naive musicians, the members of New Order were thrilled when their record label Factory opened a club. All rights reserved. Peter Hook is a great bass player, and maybe a fantastic DJ, but his character is not as strong as others in his world with respect to his book. It was a great time for me personally and for the city generally. Both financially and I had put this one aside as I'm not a huge 'Hooky' fan.

More Details Search form Search. As co-owner of Manchester's Hacienda club, Hook propelled the rise of acid house in the late s, then suffered through its violent fall in the s as gangs, drugs, greed and a hostile police force destroyed everything he and his friends had created. Maybe he wasn't surprised for the lack of respect the staff showed the Profit and Loss side of the club. Anecdotes feel thruthful and sincere and, above everything else, interesting. Staffers stealing beer crates every night. Or maybe, seeing as I had no capital to put in, the other two didn't want me taking a share of the, as it would turn out, entirely imaginary profits. And what becomes clearer as the book goes on is that he's no more of an idea than we do as to why things lasted as long as they did. Yes, that's the New Order tale, but the two things — band and nightclub —are eternally twined and you can't tell one story without the other. Topics Music books The Observer. But if, like the baggy trousered philanthropists Factory, you see it as an altruistic gift to your hometown and a breeding ground for the next generation of youth culture, it was, accidentally, purposefully, shambolically, anarchically, thrillingly, scarily, inspirationally, perfect.

The shoes disappeared in twenty minutes - all soled out. This is a difficult one to review as in many ways it's a really unique book. I realy enjoyed this. Book availability? Like all the other British pop music memoirs, this is also a book about how the British sees themselves. Almost as terrifying as the huge piece of concrete that hit partygoers one night because the bass was turned up too much! Having no interest in either car alarm music or getting shot, I avoided the place altogether in its more successful later period. Hardcover , pages. Seemingly endless tax problems.

Covered in old beer and sweat and condensation, it was one of the master tapes of Joy Division's debut album, Unknown Pleasures. After all, many of those who were there have spent the last 20 years fruitlessly trying to recreate those halcyon days. If it was less about the money I know, I know, it says in the subtitle How not to run a club, but still News News Analog Gear News. As it is, the book tells a fantastic story that if it were fiction, it would be likely you wouldn't believe it. I wasn't there but It was also interesting to get an insight into how much money the club was haemorrhaging each night, and shows that even those who are talented and savvy in one field are totally not in others. I was of course, far too young to have known much about that at the time, though I do vaguely remember the yellow smiley-face t-shirts and kids in primary school shouting 'aceed! There are many more hilarious anecdotes, more details about the craziness that conspired. It wouldn't have taken a genius to sort things out, but that clearly wasn't the Factory way of doing things! But as I got further through it, it kind of dragged on a bit, I'm not really sure what exactly made me lose a little interest, but maybe it all just got TOO crazy, I don't know.

When Strawberry Studios closed down the staff were busy clearing out the building. There were at least 20,000 copy masters from various bands and the artistes or their agents. They were contacted as to whether they wished to buy the tapes from the Strawberry library because they were clearing out. Mostly the artistes already had their own copies and said Strawberry should dispose of them. Some asked for the copy masters and these were handed over. The remaining copy masters were consigned to the skips. A colleague David Drennan was assigned the task of contacting as many of the clients as possible about their tapes. In the case of Factory Records, David Drennan remembers that they only asked for The Happy Mondays tapes and did not want any others. (see copy email ‘Dave Drennan’) Later I discovered that Factory Records had parted company with Joy Division/New Order. I felt that the tapes of Martin Hannett's work i.e. the ones he produced should not be destroyed. That is why I removed them from the skip and rescued them from landfill. When Warners were threatening court action I contacted Nick Turnbull (see copy email ‘Nick Turnbull’) who had been the owner of Strawberry Studios and who closed it down.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

  • Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin
    This is the way, Step inside: Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin Devereux Joy Division On the 30th of July 1980, three musicians - Peter Hook, Steven Morris and Bernard Sumner - took to the small stage of The Beach Club at Oozits Bar in Shudehill, Manchester. With what might be best described as ‘gallows humour’, Sumner introduced the band as being the last surviving members of Crawling Chaos (New Order Net 2018).1 Their short set consisted of five songs. It must have been a particularly difficult gig for the musicians to play, as just eleven week’s earlier their close friend and Joy Division band-mate Ian Curtis had committed suicide on the eve of their first tour of the United States. Curtis’s unexpected death marked the premature end of one of the most important and most influential post-punk bands. Joy Division was no more. Strictly speaking, Joy Division existed for only two and a half years. Formed in Salford, over twenty-nine months the band wrote and recorded forty-three songs and played one hundred and twenty gigs (see Joy Division Official 2018). The 1976 punk explosion served as an initial catalyst for Sumner and Hook to form a band - temporarily called Stiff Kittens. This was soon followed by the adoption of the name Warsaw, inspired by David Bowie’s ‘Warszawa’ and further changes in membership. The final line up of Curtis (vocals); Hook (bass); Sumner (guitar, keys) and Morris (drums) performed and recorded as Warsaw in the second half of 1977. However, the existence of a punk band called Warsaw Pakt convinced them to change their name to avoid any confusion and in January 1978 they played their first ever gig under the name Joy Division.

As co-founder of Joy Division and New Order, Hooky has had a thirty-year career in the music business which has seen him become a well-loved rock and roll icon whose innovative and genre-defining bass playing has driven classics such as ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, ‘Blue Monday’ (the bestselling 12-inch single ever), ‘Thieves Like Us’, ‘Regret’ and ‘Crystal’. Peter Hook was also co-owner of Manchester’s Haçienda, from its opening in 1982 to the rise of acid house in the late eighties and beyond, and saw first-hand the tumultuous set of circumstances that shaped the club and made it one of the most famous clubs in the world.

  • Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 9, No. 4, November 2013 When Performance Lost Control: Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division J. Rubén Valdés Miyares 1. “Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now”1 This is a case study of the continuities between living, performing and writing. When Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23, tortured by epilepsy, medication, fear and remorse; having just started a promising career as singer and songwriter for the band Joy Division, after releasing two intriguing long plays and a hit single called “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, and about to embark on their first American tour, he was stag- ing his ultimate performance. The act turned him into a cult figure, as it gave an eerie resonance to the increasingly gloomy lyrics he had written for his band. Music journalists began to write about Joy Division in a more vivid, dramatic way. People who had never seen the band perform live, or even heard of them while Curtis was alive, became fans. Joy Division was hailed in their native Manchester, England, as youthful symbols of the postmodern city, and in the rest of the world as founders of the gothic rock scene. They were subsequently the subject of biographies, biopics and documentaries which focused particularly on Curtis’s personality, and the main webpage devoted to the band (joydivisioncentral.com) lists about twenty Joy Division tribute bands performing their songs, while Youtube enables fans and critics to watch the band perform at several gigs on very low quality footage, and much more visually appealing clips of actor Sam Riley performing as Ian Curtis in the biopic about him, Control (2007).

  • Black Metal and Satanism
    chapter 12 Satan the Musician: Black Metal and Satanism The Gothic Milieu The Gothic milieu, occasionally called the Dark Wave, as a sub-milieu of the 1970s’ New Wave, was largely created by rock music, although fiction, comics, movies, and role-playing games also had a relevant influence. Although the term “Gothic” was created by outsiders, it was quickly accepted by the move- ment. Gothic music should not be confused with Heavy Metal. Metal played on the power of extreme human emotions and feelings. Gothic concentrated on human reactions to particular emotions associated with death, corpses, blood, the macabre, and vampires. The Devil was often mentioned but he was not always a key player in the Gothic scene. Besides, Satan was mentioned in many brands of rock music that were not Gothic. Sympathy for the Devil, a 1968 song by the Rolling Stones where the Devil tells his story in the first person as a “man of wealth and taste” is just one among many examples. Music critic Peter Bebergal argued that occult and Satanic themes in fact revitalized rock music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering the Rolling Stones as an example.1 The reverse is also true: music, and other forms of popular culture, somewhat revitalized Satanism.2 The origins of Gothic came from many different sources. Gothic themes emerged in the late 1960s in England and the United States with artists and groups like Alice Cooper (pseud. of Vincent Damon Furnier), Coven, and Black Widow. Almost simultaneously, the most ancient significant references to Satan were introduced to rock music by Coven, an American psychedelic rock band founded in Chicago in 1967, which explicitly sought the patronage of the Church of Satan,3 and Black Widow, a British group in the progressive rock cur- rent that debuted in Leicester in 1970 as the new version of a band active from 1 Peter Bebergal, Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll, New York: Jeremy P.
