About

Dean Wareham was born in Wellington, New Zealand. He moved to New York City as a
teenager in 1977, and attended the high school where he met his future Galaxie 500
bandmates. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Social Studies. In 1987 he
founded Galaxie 500, who released three albums, all produced by Kramer and released on
Rough Trade. 2024 saw the release of new compilation of B-sides and previously unreleased
tracks: Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90. Wareham’s next band Luna recorded seven
albums for Elektra and Beggar’s Banquet (including Penthouse, on Rolling Stone’s list of best
albums of the 90s), followed by three albums as Dean & Britta (with his wife Britta Phillips), and two solo albums. His most recent release, also on Carpark Records, was a holiday album in collaboration with Britta and Sonic Boom.
His memoir Black Postcards is a chronicle of his years in indie rock and was published by
Penguin. He has also co-composed soundtracks and acted in several films for Noah Baumbach, most recently White Noise.
That’s the Price of Loving Me is Dean's first album with Kramer since Galaxie 500’s This Is Our
Music in 1990.

  • Britta is hot

    I am not into nostalgia or reunion shows but I am a fairly big fan of galaxies 500. And dean wareham. So my bro-in-law wanted tickets for Xmas. And he wanted to go with me. So I obliged him. It turned out to be a very good show. I am amazed that he could play the old songs with such passion. The music was really rocking too. He turned each song into a Jan session. One problem was that dean had a cold so he couldn't hit all those high notes in songs like "when will you come home" in general, it's very strange music to listen to in a concert setting and I think that's what made it so special. The set list was not something I was worried about. I knew it would be "on fire" with the select hits from the other albums. And I was right. The crowd was good. They roared like a lion. I recommend this to older fans of galaxies 500 and they're bfriends/friends neophytes who just heard the name and want to know what all the hoopla was about.

    It was my first time I saw him life... he is such a character. Even when the members of the band aren't the original they sound like they where...
