The Hub presents Dean & Britta: 13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Warhol's Screen Tests

Charismatic indie rockers Dean & Britta (formerly of the storied bands Galaxie 500 and Luna) perform haunting, seductive original compositions and cover songs against a backdrop of 13 silent black-and-white “screen tests” shot by Andy Warhol. These four-minute film portraits, captured at Warhol’s 1960s New York art playground, The Factory, feature a series of young, beautiful people including Lou Reed, Dennis Hopper and Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick.

"In a word, mesmerizing. The music unabashedly translated… Show more the ominous drone of early Velvet Underground songs…into a more modern electronic mode reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder’s chic torture-chamber disco." – New York Times

This project was jointly commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts 2008.
