Author: McGonigal, Mike
This title provides a complex, sometimes contentious account of Galaxie 500's rise to indie stardom and their acrimonious break up. It also includes dozens of rare and never-before-seen photographs, as well as posters and other ephemera from the personal collection of Naomi Yang, who provides a running commentary to the images. This is the definitive book about Galaxie 500 and a crucial chapter in the story of indie rock.Slow, deliberate and deceptively simple, the music of Boston-based band Galaxie 500 was wonderfully at odds with the prevailing underground sounds of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Formed in 1987, the band split up in 1991 after releasing three acclaimed albums. The primary contributors to this long-unavailable history of the band are the three band members, but dozens of people were interviewed in all, including fellow musicians, record business folks, music critics and scenesters.
ISBN 9781737440017. 20-20-20. pb. 192 pages. 214 colour ills. 25 x 20 cm.
