Galaxie 500- Dean Wareham, Naomi Yang and Damon Krukowski- made all sorts of waves with a trio of albums between 1988 and 1990 (Today, On Fire and This is Our Music) before splitting up in 1991. On Fire in particular got acres of coverage the music press, Dean’s high pitched vox and slowcore psychedelic guitars matched by the gentle push of the bass and drums, from opening song Blue Thunder through to the closing Isn’t It A Pity (a George Harrison cover), forty minutes of reverb- laden, spectral, fragile splendour.
In 1990 while in London they were filmed playing for MTV’s 120 Minutes, a three song excerpt here opening with a cover of The Velvet Underground’s Here She Comes Now, a brief bit of self- conscious interviewing, Tell Me and finally Strange (both from On Fire).
