They have an underground following. They had quite a bit of critical acclaim. Polaris prize nomination last year. It&#8217;s kind of gritty. It\u2019s grunge, post-punk.

I think we are pretty lucky to have them. They are going to play their Luna songs. The best of Galaxy 500. Dean Wareham is an incredible songwriter.
