REM, Nirvana, Sleater Form Supergroup
Members of REM, Nirvana and Sleater-Kinney appear to have joined forces for a new supergroup. After making their live debut last week, the rock’n’roll luminaries are reportedly working together at a studio in Portland, Oregon, under the name Super-Earth. Although Super-Earth have yet to announce an official lineup, the tentative cast was unveiled via Twitter in a black-and-white studio shot by film-maker Lance Bangs. Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker (who is married to Bangs), REM co-founder Peter Buck, Fastbacks guitarist Kurt Bloch, King Crimson confederate Bill Rieflin, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselić and Minus Five bandleader Scott McCaughey.
