New Order Bassist Recruits Every Britpop Star, Ever

Peter Hook, go get 'em!

The legendary New Order (and Joy Division) bassist, Peter Hook, has recruited a bevy of Britpop's finest for his new project entitled, Freebase. Included in the mix are former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke, former Stone Roses/current Primal Scream bassist Mani, Charlatans' singer Tim Burgess, Liam Gallagher, Ian Brown and Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie.

Hook tells Billboard: "It's great to write again. I'm really excited about it." And so are we! This megagroup sounds awesome! The Good, The Bad & The Queen better watch their backs! Incidentally, we'd pay good $$ for a Damon/Peter catfight.
