For the first time in Australia- the definitive original line-up!
Ahead of the May 2013 Australian
tour by the original line up of Manchester's
Happy Mondays, the band have announced that they will be joined by Joy
Division and New Order founding member, and Manchester legend in his own right
Peter Hook playing a special DJ set at each Australian show. As a special treat
for Melbourne fans the Mondays and Peter Hook will also be joined by Australian
indie stalwarts Underground Lovers.
Peter Hook was a key figure in the
Madchester scene, a movement which took seed in the infamous Hacienda club, the
legendary venue partially funded by Hook's band New Order. The Hacienda was the
cultural epicentre of a musical zeitgeist that unified a generation of music
fans across the globe. Hook's involvement in the club and Manchester scene
along with being a member of two of the most influential acts of all-time will
bring even more of the original spirit of Madchester to what will surely be an
amzing run of Australian shows.
Through six studio albums, a live
compilation, a slew of seminal singles and EPs and several different guises
Melbourne's Underground Lovers have been taking listeners on a musical journey
since the early 1990's. Recently reforming after an almost decade long hiatus
Underground Lovers are back and will bring an even bigger sense of celebration
to those lucky to be attending the Monday's Melbourne show.
Fusing the euphoric elements of acid
house and rave with joyous indie guitar pop, Manchester's Happy Mondays became
one of the most influential UK bands of the later 20th century. Instigating a cosmic psychedelic shift that
is still being felt in music today, the Mondays delivered a salvo of classic
tracks and club anthems that were not only highly danceable, but contained
enough visceral emotion and raw chemical energy to continually excite and
engage a generation. Tracks like Step
On, 24 Hour Party People, Wrote For Luck, Loose Fit and Kinky Afro showcased
the band's unique ability to unify the divide between dance music and rock 'n'
roll.
