Dean Wareham was born in Wellington, New Zealand. He immigrated first to Sydney & then to NYC in 1977, where he attended high school with Damon Krukowski & Naomi Yang. Later, the three became known as the Boston band Galaxie 500, who made three albums between 1987 & 1991 (currently available on the Rykodisc label). In 1992, Dean formed Luna, who went on to record seven studio albums before finally disbanding in 2005.
Once upon a time, Britta Phillips....was the singing voice of cartoon rock-star JEM...co-starred in the silly coming-of-age movie, Satisfaction, with Julia Roberts, Liam Neeson, Justine Bateman, Scott Coffey & Deborah Harry...moved to London with her first band, Belltower & released an album & several EPs before signing with Atlantic records and promptly disbanding...
Britta met Dean in March, 2000 when she auditioned for his band, Luna.
They toured the world together. Dean heard some of Britta's songs, & together they made an album called L'Avventura. Luna finished their farewell tour in February, 2005. Dean & Britta are now working on songs for their next album.
