![]() They did have some live dates planned that were interrupted by the pandemic, and even though Dean & Britta had a regular live show streamed largely from their living room, it was extremely great to see the full lineup back in action after a long year off. In 2015 they started playing again, and even released some new studio material. ![]() They released a several relatively successful albums before being dropped from their Elektra label in 2000, but Dean kept it going strong, while also adding Belltower bassist Britta Phillips (who was probably best known as the singing voice of Jem in the early 90’s Jem & The Holograms cartoon), but the two soon became romantically involved, which led to Dean’s eventual divorce, and they became quite inseparable both personally and professionally, as even after Luna disbanded in 2005, and the couple continued to play and record as Dean & Britta. In 1991 the band broke up, and he straightaway formed a new band with Feelies drummer Stanely Demeski and Chills bassist Justin Harwood that displayed a far more up-beat sound, and they soon after changed up their lineup with drummer Lee Wall and guitarist Sean Eden who both helped add a bit of charismatic spunk and expanded their sound into a new level of indie pop greatness. ![]() His deeply dark and dreamy sound also helped define the pre-grunge explosion alternative music scene of the late 80’s.
