Transmission: The Sound of Joy Division

The Fox is thrilled to welcome back Transmission on Thursday 12th February.

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era.

Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success.

The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching and they were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UK’s premier band playing homage to their music.

"Unlike many tribute bands who make great efforts to look like clones of the band they cover, Transmission concentrate solely on the sound and musical ability of Joy Division, and they pull it off perfectly.”

"They're so faithful to the actual songs it's unreal. Even ones like Atmosphere which you think wouldn't work well live, they have the crowd going wild for."

"I go to Sub 89, Reading regularly and have seen Sham 69, UK Subs and The Damned amongst others and can safely say Transmission's performance was as good as any I've seen. there."

Presented by The Fox & Firkin.
