Galaxie 500, who recorded for the now-defunct U.S. branch of Rough Trade Records in the late '80s and early '90s, was one of the brightest stateside bands in the era when indie rock really was indie. Often compared with the Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500 began with the simplest of structures. The band's staple was the strummy three-chord pop song, to whichit added jazz-like percussion, intricate bass lines and otherworldly guitar and vocal effects. In showing the way to create something transcendent and glorious out of the skeletaland elementary, Galaxie 500 left a giant legacy.

For those who want to follow the irrepressible talent of this trio,singer-guitarist Dean Wareham went on to form Luna (and Luna 2), while bassist Naomi Yang and drummer Damon Krukowski continued with their own duo, Damon & Naomi, and became the rhythm section in Magic Hour, a post-rock ensemble.



Damon & Naomi aren'[t that good imo tho...

Thanks for the links Mr Cat, looks like the visa card will have to take a hammering. I only own 'Days of our nights' and I've heard 'Pup tent' but I guess it's going to be a few more in the near future.

I first heard 'Super freaky memories' back in 1999 when I still lived in London.They played it all the time on XFM and I loved it from the start.
