Dean & Britta Galaxie 500 shows

Dean & Britta are playing a tour of Galaxie 500 material. This is not a reunion; the original drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang will not be joining them for these show, but for fans that missed this band, these shows might be the best taste you'll get. Last night , they played a secret show at Park Slope's new venue Rock Shop. Tonight, they play a sold out Bowery Ballroom show with the Crystal Stilts. You can read an interview where Dean & Britta first met Crystal Stilts in a band-on-band interview they did for kevchino.com here. You can also check out an interview here with Dean & Britta around the time Dean's book Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance was released.

I saw a comment on another blog the other day about Britta Phillips and discovered an interesting shoe gaze(y) band she was in during the nineties called The Belltower. I always knew she provided the vocals for the theme song of the cartoon Jem but hadn't heard her earlier stuff. You can watch a video below of a song called "Lost in Hollow." In Bell Tower, Britta shared vocal duties with Jody Porter a New York City-based guitarist who later played with The Astrojet and ended up in the powerpop band Fountains of Wayne. The Belltower released only one LP entitled Popdropper in 1992. It was interesting to check out the development of Britta Phillips as a musician even as Dean takes us back to his musical roots with these Galaxie 500 shows.
