More than 30 years after forming, the legendary British group New Order is coming to Moscow for the first time.
With a new lease on life after its second reunion in 2011, the group will play a mix of New Order and Joy Division tracks, said drummer Stephen Morris, adding that he was surprised they were still playing together.
New Order was formed out of the ruins of Joy Division, the iconic Manchester-based post-punk band which collapsed after the suicide of singer and songwriter Ian Curtis. The remaining members, including Morris, bassist Peter Hook and guitarist Bernard Sumner, launched New Order, which would become one of the most influential bands of the next two decades, mixing new wave and electronic/dance music.
With this new sound, New Order worked to be pioneers of new music technology.
The crudity of the available technology pushed musicians to make the most of it, he said. “The down side of it was it broke down a lot. The sequencers used to break down,” he said, laughing.
Speaking about how technology has changed the way music is made and consumed, Morris said he sees the good and the bad side.
“I’ve only recently gotten into downloading and it’s very unsatisfactory compared with going to a record store. I mean, it’s great but I kind of miss finding stuff by accident and the social aspect of record shops. It’s become more of a solitary thing,” he said.
Music has become ubiquitous. “It’s everywhere. Nowadays you can hear music in a bank, you can hear music in a supermarket,” he said. “But 20 years ago it was only on the radio or on a record player.”
It was a “jaded” New Order that split in 2005, Morris said, but that today, group members felt “invigorated.”
The band reformed without Hook, and the bassist actually beat the band to Moscow, playing a gig of Joy Division songs in March last year.
New Order will play a mixture of its older material and Joy Division hits, plus some new songs, at Stadium Live.
When it comes to recording a new album, however, nothing is certain yet.
