A hilarious and vicious memoir of the Britpop era - from a man at the centre of it all

Forget Blur/Oasis and Cool Britannia. None of that actually happened. Bad Vibes is the true story of English Rock in the nineties. Written with wit, brio and no small amount of bile, Luke Haines recounts how it felt to ride a wave of self-congratulatory success in a world with no taste.

As frontman of The Auteurs, Haines tells of supporting Suede, conquering France, and failing to break America. Of knuckle-headed musos , baffling tours and a swiftly unravelling personal life. And of what it's like to be on the cusp of massive success.

Funny, honest and ridiculously entertaining, Luke Haines attacks anyone within rifle range, and is more than happy to turn the gun on himself. Bad Vibes is a brilliant memoir from a man who tells it how it was - and how he wishes it hadn't been.

About the author

Luke Haines

Luke Haines was born in God’s own county of Surrey in 1967. He is the author of two memoirs: Bad Vibes and Post Everything. He has recorded five albums with the Auteurs, one album as Baader Meinhof, three albums with Black Box Recorder, one film soundtrack album, fifty individual volumes of Outsider Music, and three solo albums. He has appeared on Top of the Pops and has been nominated for loads of awards but has won nothing. In 2003 Luke Haines was in Debrett’s People of Today. He thinks that he is no longer listed in this esteemed publication, as the free copy of the magazine hasn’t been delivered for some time. It’s not the end of the world. The author is married with one chid.
