The future of New Order?
During a recent visit to Argentina, New Order’s Peter Hook and Stephen Morris spoke to Buenos Aires-based paper Página/12 about the future of the band. New Order Online is currently running excerpts from the interviews, where Morris says it feels like they are “the old guys of the neighbourhood” and both members state that it might be time for a break. Hook also talks about his unhappiness with the way things are going doing music for Anton Corbijn’s Joy Division film “Closer” (”the problem is that he´s telling us what to do and if we don´t tell him how to direct, why is he telling us how to make music?) and mentions his new project, Freebass. Also featuring Gary Mournfield of Primal Scream/Stone Roses and Andy Rourke of The Smiths, Freebase brings together three of Manchester’s best known bass players together in one band!
