How was it?
@Alec They started really early as the support act failed to show up, so I missed the first 10-15 minutes, but as previously, Gong TNG sounded great and the legacy of the band is safe in the hands of its current members.
Just got the audiobook by Peter Hook (“Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division”) with him reading it but haven’t started yet.

As per Barry:
All new material – very songy, hooky and, obviously, slightly lurid.
Also – heads up – we have a gig confirmed in Lewes, West Sussex for October 4th at All Saints. Get it in your diary.

😎🙏🏼 great cover 👍
Everyone here should have this.
Some friends of mine have just released an album. If you like alt/indie pop with a combination of lilting vocal melodies and bursts of rocking guitar, you may find this pleasing:

Some other friends of mine have just released their first full length album. This switches between quite angular prog rock to melodic alt pop:

Don't be put off by the harshness of track one - two and three are more accessible.
Some ethereal, dreamy ambience (with the odd brutalist interlude) from Muddy Suzuki:
