Galaxie 500 was an American alternative rock trio (also called slowcore or dreampop) which was formed in 1987 and dissolved in 1991 after editing three albums.
Guitarist Dean Wareham, drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang had met at the Dalton School in New York, but began playing together in their time as students at Harvard University. Wareham and Krukowski had formed a group called Speedy and the Castanets, whose bass player had left. Vacancy under the covered Yang, and the group's name changed to Galaxie 500, a friend's car (a Ford 60, Galaxie 500). The group began to give concerts in Boston and New York, and recorded a demo sent to the chief and producer of the Shimmy Disc label, Mark Kramer, who agreed to be the producer of the band. With Kramer after checks, the group recorded the single "Tugboat" and the flexi-disc "Oblivious", and continued recording the album Today, which was released on the small label Aurora. In 1989 they signed with Rough Trade, and released their second album, On Fire, which is considered the defining moment of the band. On Fire hit No. 7 on the UK indie list, and received rave reviews in that country. However, it was so well received by the U.S. media, citing Wareham vocal limitations as a weakness.
The group disbanded in the spring of 1991 after the release their third album, This Is Our Music, Wareham and having left the group after a long American tour. Galaxie 500 discs were released in the UK and the U.S. by indie label Rough Trade. When Rough Trade went bankrupt in 1991, Krukowski and Yang purchased the masters at auction, Rykodisc reissued the discs in 1997.
