The band was origi nally named Luna 2 and featured ex- Chills bassist Justin Harwood and for mer Feelies drummer Stanley Demeski alongside Wareham. But after fate shuffled the cards, Wareham found himself with almost an entirely new lineup of Britta Phillips (known for her voice-over as Jem from Jem and the Holograms) on bass, Sean Eden (a former student at the N.C.

That spirit, Wareham said, is a com bination of influences ranging from Blondie to the Sex Pistols to even Elvis Presley. “If I could hear him play one of my songs, that would be nice," Wareham said.
