EKKO does Joy Division

UTRECHT - EKKO pulls out on Friday, May 17 with an evening around the influential post-punk band Joy Division.

During the program, the cover band Joy Division Undercover performs and the visitor can enjoy the, never before seen in the Netherlands, documentary 'Joy Division' by director Grant Gee. Finally the Utrecht band April treats the visitor with a DJ set from the best new wave has to offer.

Joy Division Undercover
The seed for cover band Joy Division Undercover was already planted in 2008, when the Utrecht singer-songwriter Erny Green along with Gerald Roerdink Veldboom founded the Joy Division tribute band 'Closer To Curtis'. The band toured at the time along the Dutch club circuit combined with the Anton Corbijn film 'Control'. After successfully touring the band was dissolved. In 2013 the two decided to blow new life into the band under the name Joy Division Undercover, this time with Henk Koorn (Hallo Venray) in the ranks.

Documentary 'Joy Division'
The documentary "Joy Division" (2007) by Grant Gee tells the story of the influential band on the basis of personal anecdotes from friends and fellow musicians, plus special footage. Gee previously directed music videos for include Blur, Sparklehorse and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and made his film debut with the documentary 'Meeting People is Easy'. Here he laid Radiohead uniquely fixed during their world tour after OK Computer. 'Joy Division' has never been seen before in the Netherlands.

April DJ set
Jorn Mathijssen (vocals, bass) and Julia Hendriks (vocals, guitar) of the Utrecht post punk / new wave / pop group April provide a DJ set with the best from the world of new wave and post-punk. April debuted in 2011 with her EP 'April' and released February of this year the single The Rise And Fall Of A Beautiful Bird / Up Beat Generation onto Subroutine Records.

Founder new wave
Joy Division is considered the founder of the new wave. On the night of 17 on May 18, 1980 frontman Ian Curtis ended his life, after which the remaining members successfully went under the name New Order. Contemporary bands like Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National and Editors give to Joy Division as great inspiration to see.
