that’s a little sad. i only have one of their songs, ‘Astronaut’, but it’s one of my favorites. and, i’m moving to the west coast in a week so i will be missing their tour. hrm.
Does anyone know why they’re disbanding? Have they made a statement, or are they just burned out, which is understandable?
There’s an interview with Dean Wareham over in the Pitchdork news section which kind of explains things. Be interested to see what’s next.
im sad about luna disbanding… they were one of the bands i was so manic about in college. i must see them at the middle east!!
everyone sing together, “773-202 (beep beep beep beep) LUNA”
At least i was able to see them live before they split, something i can’t say about Galaxie 500.
I guess Dean will continue his project with Britta.
saw them last night in Chicago…they were as good as ever..last time I saw them was ’97 or something…
