Kerr, Pete Terrell and Martin Moscrop.The band returned to the studio and completed a series of gigs around the country with labelmates Joy Division during late '79 and early 1980.Romantic Mancunians love to ponder the similarities between the two cities, the skyline over Hulme, the great canals running through the cities (born from their mutual industrial heritage), the fantastic nightlife.New York, but it looks good in print.They filmed the 'Tribeca' film with Michael Shamberg, a film featuring a fantastic gig at Hurrah's, interspersed with footage of the band concocting a percussive
