Luke Haines (The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder) & Peter Buck (R.E.M.) return on Monday 25th August, with special guests The Minus 5.
Luke Haines was a leading light of the UK’s 90s alternative rock scene, first with The Auteurs and then with Black Box Recorder. Since 2000 he has released numerous solo albums, two memoirs and a cookbook, as well as having a documentary made about him.
Peter Buck was, for 31 years, the guitarist for American alternative rock stars R.E.M. The band, co-founded by Buck in 1980, sold tens of millions of albums; and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. The group amicably disbanded in 2011, since which Buck has played in numerous bands, including Filthy Friends.
Haines and Buck have released two albums to date, and the duo's third album "Going Down To The River... To Blow My Mind" is out on 25th July. Recorded in Portland, Oregon, the album also features Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5) and Linda Pitmon (Filthy Friends), both of whom will be joining the tour. The McCaughey led Minus 5 will open the evening, with their signature concoction of garage-pop rock.
For this show, the stalls will be a mixture of standing and unreserved seating. The rows at the front of the stalls will be removed to create a standing area in front of the stage, with seats available further back. The balcony is reserved seating, and audience members must remain seated in the balcony.
