How do you feel about Glitter Punk? Punk bands that stretch into Glam Rock?

What might have been if Ian lived.

“Control” biopic was phenomenal. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

They took their name from the barracks where Jewish women were raped repeatedly then killed.

One of my favorites.
Ceremony is 💯

Sadly missed

Memories of watching a great performance of ‘Transmission’ on the BBC2 TV show ‘Something Else’ in 1979.

Only managed to see them twice, but what a twice!….

cipherknot.bsky.social•34 days ago

Now do Warsaw

I played a gig supporting the Adverts with Warsaw bottom of the bill. I don't remember them being much good. In my memory one of two of them had hats hiding their long hair.

can’t believe it was this long ago

dutchmeikuh.bsky.social•34 days ago

Everyone seeing this post and wants to know a bit more about Ian Curtis. Can recommend one of the best 'biopic' movies I've seen;

Control, made by photographer Anton Corbijn, he filmed the whole movie in black&white and you'll appreciate Joy-Division for ever !

Totally loved that band!

ramsatu.bsky.social•34 days ago

And first TV appearance, I vaguely remember this age 10...
RIP Ian and Tony

The band I never saw that I most wish I had.

substantion-igra.bsky.social•34 days ago

Manchester is a great city for music, innit? It’s a great city, period. It was the first place in the UK I experienced. Nicest ppl, amazing music.

mattbw7.bsky.social•34 days ago

It seems like a lot of big cities these days, it's lost something.

charlespontoon.bsky.social•34 days ago

I assume Rafters and The Gallery are long gone?

snssensation.bsky.social•33 days ago

Been here about a year and a half and the role music seems to play here is unlike anything I've seen in other places I've lived in (including London). Music is a bit like the lifeblood of this place

pastybot.bsky.social•34 days ago

God, I feel old. Where did the last 47 years go!

leftturnisright.bsky.social•34 days ago

One of the rare bands whose rebirth actually worked after the loss of their lead singer.

artibollocks.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hmmm
They were okay …..

leftturnisright.bsky.social•34 days ago

New Order is amazing.

leftturnisright.bsky.social•34 days ago

Shit, I'm old.

But at least I always hated "classic rock," even when it was new.

romeoavoid.bsky.social•34 days ago

Some Dad/early Butt rock has its place, and I die on this hill

leftturnisright.bsky.social•34 days ago

I got more than enough of that growing up. Unless you were a teen in the 70's, you wouldn't understand how mind-blowingly refreshing was a three-minute song by The Ramones. "Classic" rock felt like one massive ego indulgence. "Here, listen to this amazing 20-minute guitar solo!"

bakerdave76.bsky.social•34 days ago

January 25th, 1978, Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris made their live debut as Joy Division at Pips Disco in Manchester, initially being billed as Warsaw for the performance.
My mate reckons we were at this Gig,we had seen warsaw before and was pips every weekend.
