Peter Hook can sing?!

Sign in to disble this ad
I was flicking through some old videos on YouTube searching for a Peter Hook clip and I came across a band called Monaco, Hooky's side project.

He actually sings and sounds half-decent.


Anyone else heard Monaco??

Yes. Music for Pleasure is the album you should check out. It's very 90s, but some good New Order-esque songs. Hooky sings on some and David Potts does too, who sounds a lot lik eBernard Sumner, so it's almost like listening to New Order. Good album.

Hooky also sang 2 songs on New Order's first album, Movement, including Dreams Never Ends, which is a great song.

Also, Hooky fans will enjoy this, he guests on a track by a Portuguese band called Loto, on this great song:

I could have sworn that he sang on "dreams never end". He also sang love will tear us apart when I saw them in the 90s.

Wow, I never knew he sang "Dreams Never End". One of my favorite New Order songs.
