Joy Division Tribute @ Doppel Kafe by Alif Omar Mahfix on Friday, 22nd June 2012   Love shan’t tear us apart… love for Joy Division that is. In fact the band had united 2 formerly disparate entities; dance and rock. After all, this is the same band that inspired that godawful Wombats track ‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’.

The night started off with pretty much a mingling session over cheap beer to Joy Division as Xes Xes Loveseat warned the crowd with post-punk tunes. Opening with drone rockers, troll-y named Zooey Deschanel Intergalactic Copulation Machine, whose droning made any recog...
