LUNA Strange (Live) (recorded for Dave's Garage 1994)

Luna isn't really a Teenbeat band but, in 1997, the album Pup-Tent was released on 12" vinly carrying the Teenbeat imprint and the catalogue (that's catalog for you folks south of the Canadian border) number of 232.

This song here first appeared as a track on, Luna founding member Dean Wareham's previous band, Galaxie 500's On Fire LP, but was performed by Dean Wareham and Sean Eden (a Canadian!) at some point in 1994 at WHFS radio, for a show called Dave's Garage.

"In 1991, after leaving Galaxie 500, Dean Wareham signed a demo deal with Elektra Records, and recorded some demos with drummer Jimy Chambers of Mercury Rev. Songs included Anesthesia, I Can¹t Wait, and Slash Your Tires. Anesthesia was released as a single (under the name Dean Wareham) on Number 6 records.
Elektra liked what they heard and Dean began to put Luna together, calling his friend Justin Harwood (former bassist with the Chills) in New Zealand. Justin moved over to New York City, taking an apartment on east 16th street, and the two began auditioning drummers. The first drummer¹s name was Byron Guthrie, and the trio rehearsed in the basement underneath his apartment on Avenue B. They recorded another group of demos (produced by Dave Fridmann) and played a couple of shows together..."
