By Chyrisse Tabone, Rock At Night Tampa
For the past few years, Rock At Night looks forward to every Spring/Summer when Peter Hook and the Light arrives in North America to perform hits of Joy Division and New Order. It’s becoming a regular tradition! I cannot listen to Sirius XM’s “First Wave” without hearing something from these iconic bands every couple of hours, it seems. The music is really timeless! Last week I was at The Castle, a famous Goth bar in Tampa, which has been around for the last 25 years. Each room has a different theme (e.g., Emo, Goth, 80s, New Wave) and it was so COOL to see college-aged kids dancing to New Order’s “Blue Monday”. The music sounds as fresh today as ever!
Last year Peter Hook came out with a fantastic book about New Order called “Substance.” It is a highly recommended read! Very funny and witty! If you want a book for Summer reading, this is a fun one!
