another cool visit from one of our favorite bands.. ever.. Peter said, "this is a regular stop now, isn't it" It's the third time Peter and the boys have come in for a visit and he loves our Dr. Martens Chelsea boots!
today.. a Day Of The Lords.. Peter Hook & The Light came back to the shop for Dr Martens. we had a blast with them talking Joy Division Doc's - New Orders's Power Corruption & Lies posters, First kick Lambrettas and all the DM's they got from us in the past. We saved a pair of super rare Joy Division Dr Martens in hopes of Peter Hook coming back to the store for a signature.. that happened - what ever you think about Joy Division and New Order just know this, he is the heart of these bands...
What!  Peter Hook in our shop??  YES!  The Super Bad Ass bass player from Joy Division & New Order, ya, that's the one.  Peter was in Denver playing with his band The Light, covering classic albums from J-D and N-O.  We sent them a note asking them to stop by the shop back in 2011 but didn't hear back, then 2 years later out of the blue we got an email asking if the offer was still open as they were returning to Denver.  We met them at the airport and took them straight to FashioNation.  We traded boots for tickets to the show!  just another day at the shop?..  not even close
On stage that night at the Gothic, Peter IS rock'n our FashioNation logo shirt on stage!  He asked me if i would like to introduce the band on stage, i declined, it was more than enough just to have them in the store. Â
