Dean & Britta are Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips; they have been making music together since Britta joined Dean’s band Luna in 2000. Dean & Britta will perform as a duo, a career-spanning set of songs from their back catalog (Galaxie 500, Luna) up to Dean’s new album That’s the Price of Loving Me.
Dean got his start as the singer-songwriter-guitarist behind Galaxie 500. Before joining Luna, Britta was a member of the London-based shoegaze band Belltower, and in her 1980s youth was the singing voice of cartoon rocker Jem (of Jem & the Holograms). Dean & Britta have scored films for Noah Baumbach (the Squid & the Whale, Mistress America), Olivier Assayas and a project with the Andy Warhol Museum: 13 Most Beautiful: songs for Andy Warhol’s Screentests. Their most recent album, A Peace of Me, was an LP of Christmas songs — a collaboration with Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3.
