Joy Division's debut album Unknown Pleasures was released June 15th, 1979 and is days away from turning 40 years old. Joy Division will be marking this important milestone with a project titled Unknown Pleasures: Reimagined.
For the project Joy Division enlisted 10 acclaimed directors to create new visuals and videos for each song on Unknown Pleasures. The first video in the series premieres tomorrow, June 13th.
Along with the project, Joy Division announced Stephen Morris will appear at a special event on June 21st at You Tube Space London. Morris will appear on a panel along with several of the project's video directors. The night will also include a screening of the entire series of Unknown Pleasures: Reimagined videos.
Meanwhile tonight another special Joy Division event takes place in London: Joy Division: Forty Years On featuring a playback of Unknown Pleasures followed by a conversation with Peter Hook. The event takes place at Mirth, Marvel and Maud in London and is sold out.
