Biography
Relentlessly highbrow, Haines’s dark-but-mischievous lyrics typically fall into three groups: musings on obscure Anglicana (The Mitford Sisters, Freddie Mills is Dead), bitter attacks on modern society, particularly the arts (The Death of Sarah Lucas, Christ) and twisted 1970s anti-nostalgia (Leeds United, Here’s to Old England) - with the odd dash of self-aggrandisement thrown in for good measure.
Despite cultivating an image as a sinister misanthrope over the past fifteen years, Haines’s live sets are notable for his self-deprecating humour and between-songs banter - and for their surprising brevity. But considering that most of his songs are well under three minutes, this doesn’t necessarily mean a short set list.

"Nine and a Half Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the 1970s and early ’80s". Out digitally on October 10th. Apparently. I cannot wait for this album. A Luke Haines album is always cause for celebration. Even better that he is continuing his exploration of all things 70s. http://nigeyb.tumblr.com/post/10167506942/luke-haines-nine-and-a-half-psychedelic-meditations-on

After months of looking I bought a CD of Baader Meinhof about 9 months ago for £7.27 new. It's still possible to get hold of a copy at a resonable price if you look hard enough.

Insanely underrated. Whatever that might actually mean in the grand scheme of things.
