Formerly of mid 90s electro-indie bands The Auteurs and Black Box Recorder , this legendary front man has gone solo with a hip-hop/pop pastiche sound to play to a well establised following of fans. 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 <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Luke+Haines">R

Quotes

• “The Great British Public; a nation of Blue Peter presenters.”
• “All British artists 1988--? Just signing your name is not enough, you withered fucking idiots.”
• “The Auteurs have become Luke Haines. I ate their bodies, spat out the pips, and sucked up their souls.”
• “The point is there's a boring homogenisation of popular culture, so really the problem is there's nothing wrong, the machine works too smoothly. I think the pop music machine is much more fun when it's broken. Things are always more fun when they're broken. No one was ever consulted about this. There was never a Senate committee to say we must produce pop music every day since 1953 or whatever. It's time to lay down the gauntlet.”
• “I saw the 'Popstars' programme and to me it looked more like 'Opportunity Knocks' than the kind of cutting-edge postmoderism that The Guardian would like to have us believe it was. I think what it's more about is the public and the music industry's bloodlust. It's just like someone itching to say 'Oh, confound it all, let's bring back hanging, that was good entertainment'.”
