Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 MUSIC
Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500
Crocodile

Galaxie 500 inspire serious cult devotion, even 20 years after their brief, brilliant run as slowcore torchbearers. The group's fragile-voiced frontman, Dean Wareham, imbued Galaxie 500's songs with an intimate, poignant glow. Slouching off the plangent, downer ballads from Velvet Underground's third LP and Jonathan Richman's more sad-sack material, G500 created a perfectly formed three-album canon of gentle, longing rock whose gorgeous melodies are built to last. This performance could be the nostalgia wallow of the year. (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, www.thecrocodile.com, 8 pm, $15, 21+) by Dave Segal

I prefer the music at SIFF's Italian Film Festival opening night film.

Which runs all week.

On the other hand, Galaxie 500 is cool.

Saw them at the Filmore a few nights ago. I think Galaxy 500 fans will be really happy with the show.

How come nobody ever mentions the other band he was in for a lot longer than Galaxie, Luna? They were pretty cool too.
