Dean Wareham was the singer and guitarist in Galaxie 500 (1987-1991). Based in Boston, they Galaxie 500 released three albums that have only grown in stature, Today, On Fire and This Is Our Music, all produced by Kramer and released on the Rough Trade label. 2020 also saw the first ever vinyl release of their live Copenhagen album.
“Galaxie 500 were the ultimate cult group,” wrote Bookforum, “a band who set the stage for the indie scene of the 21st Century.”
