Luke Haines and Peter Buck - French Glam Man Band

Luke Haines and Peter Buck Brought together by a shared love of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, this is a tale of no ordinary collaboration. Peter Buck, guitarist of global indie legends REM, needs no introduction. His partner in crime, former Auteurs front man, author and now established solo artist and documenter of outsider culture, Luke Haines, can not claim to the uninitiated to enjoy such a level of international fame as his collaborator Peter Buck perhaps does. But this is a tale of a partnership born out of the modern age. Enabled by the internet and file sharing, the two didn’t meet up once during the creation of the ten-song strong album, 'Beat Poetry for Survivalists'. Due out on 6th March 2020, and followed by a short tour of the UK in April, this is a modern record reflective of the times we live in. In some ways it’s the perfect collaboration and the album certainly doesn’t disappoint.
