About

Peter Lawrence Buck is the guitarist and co-founder, along with Bill Berry, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe of the seminal 1980s alternative rock band R.E.M..After spending time in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the Buck family moved to Atlanta, Georgia. After high school, Peter attended Emory University in Atlanta; however, he eventually dropped out. He later moved to Athens, Georgia and attended the University of Georgia as well. While in Athens, he worked at the Wuxtry Records store through which he met regular customer Michael Stipe as well as R.E.M.'s future legal and managerial representative, Bertis Downs.[1][2] Buck currently lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife Stephanie Dorgan. This is notable considering the remainder of R.E.M. (Mike Mills and Michael Stipe) still live in Athens, Georgia. The Bucks have twin girls, Zelda and Zoe, born in 1994. Peter, Mike Mills, Bill Berry and Warren Zevon recorded an album under the band name Hindu Love Gods, while the R.E.M. bandmates and Zevon were recording tracks for Zevon's 1987 album "Sentimental Hygiene." Hindu Love Gods is one of many names the members of R.E.M. have used performing around the Athens area.
