neilb Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 [b][i]Gallagher, Mcculloch + Brown To Front Hook's New 'super Group' (Saturday October 13, 2007 10:50 AM) Former New Order star Peter Hook has enlisted the help of Liam Gallagher, Ian Brown and Echo + The Bunnymen star Ian Mcculloch to front his new all-star band. Bass player Hook formed Free Bass with former The Smiths bassist Mike Rourke and Primal Scream star Mani after controversially announcing the break-up of New Order earlier this year (07). The new supertrio decided against having a full-time frontman, and instead have recruited a few big names to sing for them. Details about the titles of the tracks the group has recorded and a forthcoming album have not been released. [/i][/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ednaplate Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 He's also reforming Monaco for a series of gigs. I know this for a fact as the singer's parents are neighbours of mine. Not sure if this will be a permanent reunion but they are doing a charity bash at The Ritz (I think) in Manchester at the end of the month.

SJA Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) this Freebass thing doesn't look promising at all. 3 bassists (is Mani playing guitar?) and no songwriter, by the sounds of things. Hooky playing his same old licks on that demo track. [url="http://www.myspace.com/peterhookneworder"]http://www.myspace.com/peterhookneworder[/url] but I thought Hooky sounded great on the single from Perry Farrell's Satellite party "wish upon a dog star".
