Peter Hook & Friends Perform Unknown Pleasures

Half of the Joy Division catalog performed by a founding member, bassist Peter Hook, with friends (obviously). The lead singer committed suicide roughly 30 years ago, but Unknown Pleasures has steadily gained popularity since.

If you are a Joy Division (or New Order) fan, you don't look at the ticket prices to see a pseudo reincarnation of this album live at the best venue in town. When you do see the price, you'll be surprised. It costs less than a Hanson show.

The Very Best (w/Warpaint)

African Electronic Hip Hop, these guys (and two lovely ladies) tore down the dance tent at Sasquatch 2010. This much smaller venue sounds more intriguing.
