Review: Peter Hook and The Light play “Unknown Pleasures”

Leadmill, Sheffield, Tuesday 29th May 2012. Apparently, according to the NME, Peter Hook and his band The Light playing Unknown Pleasures in its entirety is a bit like The Smiths doing The Queen is dead without Moz.

Sad Accordions – A bad year for the Sharons

Sooo…..it all begins here. Clever Slouchers will know that Messrs. Valdés López and How go a little weak at the knees when Seth Woods (Whisky Priest /Sad Accordions) hang some tunes out on the line and let ‘em float among us mere mortals. Well, hailing from Austin, Texas, gives the Accordions a head start I guess…
