Description

Includes full set lists not included in the physical edition.

In this final installment of his internationally bestselling three-part memoir—including The Hacienda and Unknown Pleasures—British rocker Peter Hook focuses on the 1980s New Wave and Dance Punk scene and the rise of one of the most influential bands of the Second British Invasion: New Order.

1980. Resurrected from the ashes of Joy Division after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis, New Order would become one most critically acclaimed and important bands of the decade and beyond. With their hits "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Perfect Kiss", and "Blue Monday"—the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time—Peter Hook and company quickly rose to the top of the alternative music scene. Widely regarded as the godfathers of electronic dance music, their sound would influence Moby, The Chemical Brothers, The Postal Service, The Killers, and other acts that followed in their wake.

Hook tells the complete, unvarnished story of New Order's founding and evolution; the band's experiences in the New York City club scene and rapid rise to international fame, its impact on house music, techno, and rave; and its eventual rancorous dissolution. Full of Hook's "gleefully profane" (Entertainment Weekly) humor and vivid, witty storytelling, Substance is the most important and certainly the most controversial part of his story, emanating with drugs, booze, and sex.

Complete with timelines, discographies, gigographies and track-by-track analysis, and exclusive photographs and archival images from Hook's personal collection, it is the definitive, comprehensive history of New Order and a compelling snapshot of the '80s cultural scene in all its neon-hued glory.

        In this lengthy but never boring memoir, Hook (Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club) covers the highlights and lowlights of performing in the new wave band New Order. After the suicide of Ian Curtis, the charismatic front man of Joy Division, Hook and the band’s other remaining members formed the equally iconic New Order. Though it was different in terms of sound and feel, New Order was equally acclaimed and influential. In lesser hands, Hook’s attention to meticulous detail could be a recipe for a ponderous, sleep-inducing tome, but his lively prose and wit keeps readers bouncing through the book. Sordid tales of drugs, groupies, and debauchery, such as the time the band released a donkey into the Pogues’ dressing room, balance out the gear minutiae, stories behind classic songs such as “Blue Monday,” the ups and (mainly) downs of running a club, songwriting, and losing millions of dollars. Hook breaks up the narrative with random lists (“Ten Most Interesting Medical Problems I Got Working In a Band,” “Ten Best Bass Riffs”). The often egotistical Hook still manages to be a charming and funny storyteller.

        Life after Joy Division: an insider offers a comprehensive history of New Order.Now entering a new phase as the elder statesman of electronic dance music and the "Madchester" music scene, Hook (Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division, 2013, etc.) provides an extremely thorough history of his legendary follow-up group, New Order. As raw, undiluted, and fitfully funny as its predecessors, this spiritual sequel starts by asking a difficult question: "Do we need to go into the circumstances of Ian's death?" The answer, as it turns out, is no and yes. No, because it's been covered, and yes, because Hook never fully recovered from the death of Joy Division's doomed frontman Curtis, not to mention the consequential years of drug and alcohol abuse. The stories are entertaining, though, opening with producer John Robie assaulting "Hooky" in front of Molly Ringwald at the premiere of Pretty in Pink in 1985. In the following pages, Hook describes the making of hits like "Blue Monday," "Bizarre Love Triangle," and others as well as his dynamic and difficult relationships with his band mates, particularly vocalist Bernard Sumner. Even triumphs like headlining the Reading Festival are dismissed with casual abandon: "International rock star = bollocks." Along the way, Hook offers anecdotes, timelines detailing recording sessions and performances, "geek alerts" commenting on instruments and recording gear, and sly asides--e.g., "Ten Most Interesting Medical Problems I Got Working in a Band." The author also offers a visceral depiction of the druggy music scene with stories about bands like Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses, who "deserve a chapter to themselves, so here we go." It's an unapologetic rock memoir, concerned less with legacy and more with what really went down: "the idea being to bring you the most complete and truthful record of life inside New Order as is humanly possible." By that standard, the book is a marvelous success. A well-written and brutally honest remembrance of the glory days of rave culture.
