Revenge (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revenge was a side project of New Order bassist Peter Hook (vocals, bass, keyboards). Other members were Chris Jones (keyboards) and Dave Hicks (guitar), who was later replaced by David Potts. Revenge formed after New Order's hiatus in 1989-1990 and played their final gigs in January 1993.
In May 1991 the band recruited new members Brian Whittaker (bass and guitar) and Mike Hedges (drums) who debuted at the Cities in The Park Festival. After completion of touring and promoting New Order's 1993 album Republic, Hook returned to Revenge with the intention of recording a new album. However, the band soon disintegrated and Hook retained the talents of only David Potts to form Monaco.
It has often been speculated that the band's name referred to Hook seeking revenge on Bernard Sumner for the latter's formation of the band Electronic with Johnny Marr. In fact, the name came from the word Revenge emblazoned on a leather jacket worn by George Michael in the video for his hit song, "Faith".
