I saw Luna at the Duchess of York pub, in Leeds,England ,i think it was in 1991,i could be wrong..
there were only about 20 people there,and maybe only half a dozen properly watching, everyone else was just having a pint !
I stood 3 feet away and was spellbound.
Fond memories of this little gig.
Dean said he didn’t have many songs yet so they did lots of galaxie covers.
Hi James, I’m pretty sure the first UK shows were in Feb 92 when they played dates with Grasshopper of Mercury Rev on guitar – the only date that I have in the db for that tour is the London one but I suspect they played more than just that one. They came back in September 92 when I bought my first Luna T-shirt as modelled here. I’ll have a look in Black Postcards when I get home but I’m pretty certain the first ever Luna show was in Jan 1992.
I was flipping through the tv stations, and came accross this reality show on vh-1 called Confessions of a Teen Idol. I watched for about a minute, and they were playing Luna-this time around.(The beginning of the song anyway)It was cool to hear a Luna song on tv. I guess the person in charge of that show has some good musical taste.
The database is not complete particularly for dates pre 97/98 – I keep adding so if you figure out when it was please say.
As for live shows…they turn up on bittorrent sites (such as dimeadozen) periodically or you can check a traders database like etree (Luna section on etree).
I need help figuring out when I saw Luna. I have a shirt from the show in Tempe, AZ with a picture of the enterprise and mr. spock on it. I think 1992? Anyone.
Andy – just a note of appreciation for your site. I am such a G500/Luna/DB fan and I have had your site bookmarked for years. The lost tracks and mp3’s you have posted are awesome. That Ceremony demo is killer. Also, love the annual poll. Happy to announce that I saw Luna in their one stop they made to Omaha, NE in ‘02 (and later parodied in TMDYMM). I made every attempt to see the San Fran show last night, but work was an issue; however, my friend went and was blown away. Cheers.
Just thought I’d mention that the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago has added a “late show” for “13 Most Beautiful …” scheduled for 10pm (the first show is sold out).
Their web site also advises those attending the late show to arrive early and meet Dean (signing books in the lobby). I trust, those of us exiting the first show will have the same opportunity.
This is a great venue and should serve the performance quite well. If you see me, stop and say hello.
Hey, I couldn’t find direct contact info here, but thought you might be interested in an extensive Q&A we did with Dean Wareham about “13 Most Beautiful…”
Thank you Andy for this warm and generous site. I want some luna merchandise, a t-shirt would be nice. I’m sorry that this plea for consumption is all i can contribute at the moment.
Just thought you might dig seeing the largest private collection of Galaxie 500, Luna, and Dean & Britta Tour Posters … http://www.myspace.com/jenellkesler Just go to My Photos, and find the Dean & Britta Folder.
OH … and please check out the two that I created for Rochester and this New Year’s at South Paw … I have a few of the Rochester left, and if you dig the Cheshire Cat, get one before the show, that way you’ll be sure to get one …
That puddle to the left of the stage was me … I still haven’t gathered myself together since the show. We welcomed in the New Year at a Rest Stop on the way back to Philadelphia with burgers and cold fries. Now that was a New Year’s Celebration to be remembered. If only we’d remembered to get gas, we wouldn’t have needed to stop again … but hay, I was feeling very fuzzzzzzzzzzy.
As far as I can tell you don’t need to use a GMail address – I just did a test and managed to subscribe a non-Google address using the form on this page…

Is fuzzywuzzy.com gone? I cant get on it anymore.
By Larry on Dec 13, 2008
Looks like they forgot to pay the domain registration again (happened in December 2005 as well)…I’m sure someone will notice…
By Andy on Dec 14, 2008
I hope so. I know its crazy, but I’ve checked that site everyday since they broke up, just in case…..

Looks like someone’s paid the bill for fuzzywuzzy now…

Where can I find live recordings of Luna? I have the Luna live CD. Anything else.
Also, I attended a show in Tempe, AZ but I dont cant find it in the Gigography. I think it was around 93′ or 94′.

I hope you’ll check it out! Dean & Britta are performing the show at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival in September.

Thanks NickG – I’ve posted a news item about the interview. Never realised I was hard to get hold of, just thought I was unpopular! I better fix that.

Thanks Jenell. Nice collection! There’s also a big collection of posters on the Facebook ‘A Head Full of Wishes’ page if anyone wants to check that out.
By Andy on Nov 20, 2009
Do you actually own all of those posters? If so, I’d be interested in purchasing a couple that I don’t have.
Cheers, J

Hi Andy,
Happy New Year
Had the pleasure of catching D&B at SouthPaw on New Year’s Eve.
Can’t say enough of how great they are sounding these days. They performed excellent versions of Chinatown, Bewitched, Moon Palace and 23 Mins. Closed with a killer cover of Ceremony. Sorry for the lack of video quality. It maybe time for a new camera. In any case..enjoy

New mailing list. Andy, it looks like you have to use a gmail account to join the new mailing list. Is that right?
