Moving Units Presents The Songs of Joy Division, Viktor Fiction, Nite Lapse at Blonde
Beginning August 7, 2016 in Santa Ana, California, the Los Angeles-based dance rock stalwarts will begin a West Coast tour entitled Moving Units Present the Songs of Joy Division, a live homage, which will include a wealth of covers as well as songs from their own oeuvre.
Putting their own spin on such important tracks as Disorder, Shes Lost Control, Atmosphere, and of course, Love Will Tear Us Apart, among others, Moving Units will lovingly recreate the Manchester bands tragic beauty faithfully. Front man of Joy Divison, Blake Miller, states,
I think we share a deep artistic connection with their music. Miller goes on to talk about the reasons behind waging such a daunting tour. Our band was very inspired by Joy Division and similarly innovative post punk bands from that era like A Certain Ratio, PiL, Section 25, and The Fall. So when we approached the material we decided to learn the songs note for note and then apply our own musical brush strokes and accents to our versions.
In addition, Moving Units are planning an accompanying studio album to be released this fall. Including the songs they will be playing live, the new album will also include special guests on the recordings and will be produced by Dave Trumfio.
