Luna Performing Bewitched

So, it looks like Luna already have become a legacy act. Performing entire albums for an adoring cult has resulted in lucrative paydays for artists of a certain age, and now Dean Wareham, Britta Phillips, and their fellow Velvet Underground acolytes are cashing in on the nostalgia craze. Tuesday's show for their mellow, golden 1995 LP Penthouse has sold out, so fans should not sleep on tix for Wednesday's Bewitched airing. Released in 1994, Bewitched increases the tempo of Wareham's former group, Galaxie 500, while maintaining the lyrical poignancy and melodic beauty of that influential trio. This record has some of Luna's greatest songs (“Tiger Lily,” “I Know You Tried,” “Friendly Advice”); it's a banquet for sensitive-folk indie-rock obsessives.
