Legendary band formed in 1987 by
Harvard students Dean Wareham, Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang. Released three albums of slow, stately and faintly
psychedelic music rather highly in debt to
The Velvet Underground. After their acrimonious 1991 split, Dean went on to form
Luna and
Damon and Naomi continued to record together under their own names.
Everett True memorably stated that "anyone who thinks
Galaxie 500 are boring should be
shot".
Albums: "Today" (1988), "On Fire" (1989), "This Is Our Music" (1990), "Copenhagen" (live album) (1998)
