Peter Hook, a legendary figure in post-punk music who needs no introduction, formed Peter Hook and the Light in 2010 to perform and celebrate the music of Joy Division and New Order. The band’s 2011 live album, Unknown Pleasures · Live in Australia, was recorded at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, capturing Hook’s raw reinterpretation of Joy Division's iconic Unknown Pleasures.
Released by Pylon Records, this album brings a fresh energy to classics like “Disorder” and “She’s Lost Control,” while staying true to the dark, atmospheric essence of the original. Known for its high-quality production, the release transports listeners into the intensity of Hook’s live performance, showcasing his unmistakable bass sound and passionate homage to Joy Division’s legacy
