New Order’s founding bassist is reminiscing on a honeymoon for this tour with his current band, The Light.

The 69-year-old wraps a short run of shows next weekend, and this first of three Florida dates finds the band playing New Order’s 2001 album Get Ready in full along with some of the best by Joy Division, too. The record has aged well, and Peter Hook agrees.

“I think is massively underrated,” he said in a press release, admitting that while he and guitarist Bernard Sumner had soured on each other, they still worked hard to make a great record. “I am looking forward to playing all the tracks, many of which have never been played live before.”

Tickets to see Peter Hook & the Light play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, June 11 are still available and start at $34.50.
