Galaxie 500

In December 1989, Galaxie 500 performed 'Snowstorm' live at Subterania in London, showcasing a pivotal moment during their career. This performance came shortly after the release of their acclaimed second album, 'On Fire', which had hit the shelves in 1989 and solidified their dreamy, atmospheric sound. Engaging with the audience, Damon Krukowski, Naomi Yang, and Dean Wareham not only played a haunting rendition but also shared insights in an interview that accompanied the performance. They were riding the wave of critical acclaim, known for their distinct blending of indie pop and shoegaze. It’s fascinating to see how this live recording captures the essence of their early sound and the palpable energy of their European tour, reflecting a time when they were shaping their identity in the music scene.
