DEAN & BRITTA'S 13 MOST BEAUTIFUL...SONGS FOR ANDY WARHOL’S SCREEN TESTS
Featuring Live Music By Songwriters Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips
Sep 23, 2023
7:00 PMHusband and wife Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips, beloved as members of the iconic indie band Luna, perform original scores to Warhol's rarely seen short silent film portraits, which captured Factory superstars, celebrities, and anonymous teenagers—among them Lou Reed, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, and Dennis Hopper—in mesmerizing four-minute shots. Part rock concert, part film screening, part archeological dig unearthing NYC’s 1960s art scene, 13 Most Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests is an unforgettable night in the theater.
“The music unabashedly translates the ominous drone of early Velvet Underground songs like ‘I’m Waiting for the Man’ and ‘Venus in Furs’ into a more modern electronic mode reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder’s chic torture-chamber disco.” - The New York Times
13 Most Beautiful…Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests, a project jointly commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts 2008.
