After a series of successful shows in 2022, Dunedin band PARADISO are heading to Christchurch for the first time to perform a set of classic Joy Division songs.
PARADISO is a four piece band based in Dunedin. They perform the music of JOY DIVISION, the internationally influential band from Salford, Manchester, England.
The band consists of John Kiernan-Sear (lead vocals), Chris Edwards (lead guitar), Peter Whigham (Bass Guitar) and Tama Anthony-Whigham (Percussion).
The band name PARADISO is a nod to JOY DIVISION and in particular is derived from one of their last live recordings on 11th January 1980 at the Paradiso Club in Amsterdam. The lead singer of JOY DIVISION, Ian Curtis, suffered from mental illness and sadly committed suicide on 18th May 1980. The Paradiso Club recording stands, to this day, as the honest influence and true performance style of JOY DIVISION.
OTHER VOICES will be opening the night with a selection of post-punk covers.
