Dean Wareham plays Galaxie 500 secret show at The Rock Shop

On Wednesday Dean & Britta played a not all that secret and sold out show at the small new venue in Brooklyn – The Rock Shop – here's some bits found around the Internet:

A review at Soundbites

So it was a thrill getting to hear "Strange," "Flowers," "4th of July," "Tugboat" and others again, not to mention essential covers "Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste" (Jonathan Richman) and set-closing "Ceremony" (Joy Division/New Order).

Video: Dean & Britta with Grasshopper and Jonathan

Here's a wonderful video of Dean & Britta performing with Mercury Rev's Grasshopper and Jonathan Donohue on the Mystery Spot front porch on Sunday. First up is a cover of Galaxie 500's Snowstorm and then Mercury Rev's Car Wash Hair (which featured Dean on guitar when it was released as a single all those years ago!)

Audio: Dean & Britta WFMU session and interview

Just after returning from their 13 Most Beautiful show in London Dean & Britta popped into WFMU for an interview for the show Underwater Theme Park with Meghan. They performed a three song set comprising I'll Keep it with Mine, I Found it Not So, and Galaxie 500's Hearing Voices. They also chatted at length about 13 Most Beautiful, Galaxie 500 and anything else that popped up. The interview is lovingly punctuated with Meghan's laughter.

You can hear the show and see the playlist on the WFMU site – zip through to about 1hr 15mins in for the session and interview (here's a direct link to the mp3 of the full show).

There are also a few pictures on Flickr…
