Stephen Morris has had a distinguished career, spanning nearly
forty years, as a pivotal member of Joy Division and New Order with
his trademark machine-like drumming. After the death of Joy
Division's singer, Ian Curtis, in 1980, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook,
Morris and his wife Gillian formed New Order, one of the most
critically acclaimed and influential bands of the late twentieth
century. New Order became the flagship band for Tony Wilson's
Factory Records and, alongside him, opened the infamous Hacienda
nightclub, the centre of the acid house movement. In 2015, after a
ten-year hiatus, New Order released Music Complete; which charted
at #2 in its first week of release (the band's highest position in
over twenty years). Stephen's book won't be that typical music
autobiography, which tends to be high on mischief and low on the
music. Part memoir, part visual scrapbook, part aural history, it
will be a hybrid memoir in Stephen's wry and witty voice. Stephen
will weave a dual narrative of growing up in the North West during
the 1970s with how the music actually works. It will also explore
what it is to be part of a mythologised band and the idea of what
you do becoming who you are.
