Luke Haines & Peter Buck with The Minus 5 - Photos & Videos from The Barn Theatre Oxted, Aug 25th

The intriguing collaboration between The Auteurs frontman Luke Haines and Peter Buck from R.E.M. continues with a U.K. tour to promote their superb new album "Going Down To The River To Blow My Mind". We caught their show at The Barn Theatre in Oxted and they were backed by Scott McCaughey's Power Pop legends The Minus 5, the pair repaid the favour by joining the Minus 5 line-up for a cracking support slot, with Peter taking on bass duties and Luke on guitar and backing vocals. The Minus 5 are also challenging Luke and Peter for early contenders of Album of The Year as they are also promoting a fantastic new release entitled "Oar On, Penelope!" Here are some photos and videos from a memorable night...
