On the 18th May 1980 the country lost a legend, to mark his life and music.. Boon Army Army bring you a very special night...TRANSMISSION THE ULTIMATE JOY DIVISION TRIBUTE BAND...Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. More than 30 years on you can still relive the dark cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission one of the leading UK tribute bands.Tickets are an absolute bargain at just £7 as we want this night rammed and everyone dancing along Mr Curtis style... So come down, reminisce and let the music live on..MAIN SUPPORT ON THE NIGHT COMES FROM THE QUANGOS, ALSO ON THE BILL ARE DIRTY AVENUES, THE SO AND SOS AND A HOST MORE
