...This was before the whole alternative rock idea. No one was paying attention to us…It worked out, we could get cheap rehearsal space.” Years later, Krukowski and his wife Naomi Yang ’85, Galaxie 500’s former bassist, continue to make music under the simple moniker of Damon & Naomi. They play shows around the Boston area (including an upcoming gig at the MFA on March 12), often collaborating with other bands that they’ve met and worked with over the years. “We?...
...that end, guitarist Nicolas Bragg buffs up Destroyer’s sound with his axe heroics; drummer Scott Morgan keeps good time and occasionally funks things up with well-placed saxophone solos; bassist Tim Loewen gives each track the perfect amount of “bottom;” and keyboardist Tim Loewen plays off of Bejar’s lead guitar to craft each song’s melody...

But singer-guitarist Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook, drummer Matt Helders and bassist Andy Nicholson play with a swagger that obliterates any trace of ancestor worship. They aren't referencing anything as they fly through tunes like The View from the Afternoon; they're just playing as many hooks as possible, as fast and as cleanly as they...
