We're fairly certain that most of the people who'll come to hear Peter Hook, the bassist for Joy Division and New Order, spin records at 1415 today are retro-heads — born long after JD's Ian Curtis killed himself in 1980. (Hey, at least there'll be one person there who lived through it all.) Hook's droning bass in Joy Division brought a smart sensibility to punk, and his influential — and kickin' — work with New Order spurred self-absorbed hipsters to break out of their shell and dance. Also appearing: Mani, the bassist for Stone Roses and Primal Scream and a driving force behind Manchester's early-'90s music scene. Your night of retro love begins at 9 p.m. 1415 California. For tickets, call 713-522-7066 or visit www.boysandgirlsclubonline.com. $12 to $15.
