Galaxie 500 – CBGB 12.13.88

A pretty amazing announcement today for fans of Galaxie 500. Silver Current keeps up their archival pursuit of the band’s best moments and this week they announce that a live recording of the band’s 1988 performance at CBGB is making its way to LP. The set was part of a benefit for the zine shop See Hear, and the night also featured performances by Sonic Youth, B.A.L.L., and Unsane. The band is in peak form, just having come though the initial success of Today, and already prepping for On Fire. The set features songs from the former album, giving the record’s hushed intimacy a bit of a lash in the live setting. The set is was captured in a board mix by Kramer and restored and mastered from the analog source by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The set, CBGB 12.13.88, is out August 8th from Silver Current.
