How about this for a quirky night? An Italian Joy Division tribute act. Called Permanent
.
Definitely niche. But they were brilliant. A truly deep dive into Joy Division's song list.
The lead singer definitely had Ian Curtis' voice. And looked like him, if Ian had made it into middle age. This was Joy Division as dance music too, not gloomy songs to listen to in one's bedsit which is I think rather their reputation.
The band wanted a photo at the end to mark their experience of playing Joy Division in England. And as you can see below, although the crowd was predominantly pensioners there were some youngsters who liked the band too and enjoyed the night.
