Luna was formed in 1991 by Dean Wareham after the breakup of Galaxie 500, with Stanley Demeski of The Feelies and Justin Harwood of The Chills. Guitarist Sean Eden joined in 1994, Lee Wall replaced Demeski on drums in 1997, and Britta Phillips replaced Harwood on bass in 2000. Luna released their final album, Rendezvous, in 2005 after playing their final concert at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC.  Is “Marquee Moon” the greatest rock song of all time? Perhaps. And this is a worthy cover!

 A spine-tingling cover of a drop-dead classic. An audio tour-de-force!
