Event information

All The Kids Are Super Bummed Out is the second album/collaboration between Luke Haines (Auteurs/Baader/Meinhof/Black Box Recorder) and Peter Buck (R.E.M).

After a chance meeting in 2019 when Peter bought one of Luke’s paintings online (Lou Reed, £99.00), the pair decided to collaborate on what turned out to be their debut album – Beat Poetry For Survivalists. The songs about legendary rocket scientists and occultist Jack Parsons had to wait almost two years before given a proper live outing when Luke, Peter and the band toured the UK, culminating in two sold out nights at the 100 Club in April 2022.

During those last two years, over lockdowns. Luke and Peter retreated to a cold war bunker and recorded this double album/manifesto; monster-piece and masterpiece, in answer to the question: Why are all the Kids super bummed out?
