“This is the kind of band all of us wanted to be in as we got older”: New supergroup bringing together members of R.E.M., Screaming Trees, QOTSA and more announce first UK shows

Peter Buck, Alain Johannes and Barrett Martin.

A supergroup comprised of members from some of the biggest and best rock bands of the 90s and 00s have announced their first UK and European shows in November and December. Drink The Sea feature R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, Screaming Trees and Mad Season drummer Barrett Martin, multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes, who’s played with Eleven, Queens Of The Stone Age, PJ Harvey and more, percussionist Lisette Garcia (the Barrett Martin Group) and bassist Abbey Blackwell (Alvvays).

The band will be performing new material alongside “selected classics” from across their careers. Not that there’s a shortage of new material: ahead of the tour, they will release two albums, with one coming on September 19th and a sister release arriving on 3rd October. Both will be available as a double CD edition on 3rd October.
