Freebass

The bass supergroup Freebass is finally going to happen. Peter Hook told XFM that he, Mani, and Andy Rourke are putting together a band featuring each of them on bass. "All of the songs - and they are songs at the moment minus vocals - they all have three basses. Mani does the low part, Andy Rourke in the middle and I do the high bit … it works out quite well.” Hook said that they are still in search of a vocalist, but because of the "pedigree" of each bassist's former vocalists, they're having a hard time finding someone new and fresh. I hope the singer they find is better than David Potts from Monaco, who was really just a Bernard Sumner clone.
