Dean Wareham on Uncollected Noise and The Cure: 13th Floor MusicTalk Interview

Dean & Britta are on their way to New Zealand, touring the South Island for the first time and playing Galaxie 500 tunes at The Others Way Festival.

The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda spoke to Dean Wareham, who happened to be out in the desert at Joshua Tree, just days before the US Presidential election. Yes, politics were discussed, but so were The Rutles, The Cure and the legacy of Galaxie 500.

“Certainly, no one currently sounds like singer Dean Wareham” – The Guardian

When The Others Way first lineup was announced last week, there was an audible gasp across the country at the news that Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips were heading down our way as a trio, set to play the iconic songs of seminal slowcore band Galaxie 500. After the first gasp came the pleading questions from Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington… “What about us?”.

Good news, friends – with the news that The Others Way, Banished Music, and Strange News have teamed up to bring you shows in each of those fair cities!

Yes, these were the songs that set in motion the remarkable career of Wellington-born Dean Wareham, who followed his time in Galaxie 500 with the extraordinary second act that was Luna, with a line-up that eventually came to include singer-songwriter, musician – and original singing voice of Jem from Jem & the Holograms! – Britta Phillips.
