Galaxie 500 is a francophone garage-rock band from Montreal. They have released two albums: a self-titled album (2002) and Le Temps au Point Mort (2006), both on the C4 Records label. They should not be confused with the American alternative rock band Galaxie 500.
Following the release of Le Temps au Point Mort, Galaxie 500 was nominated for the Group of the Year award in the 10th annual MIMI (Montreal International Music Initiative) awards.
The lineup that recorded Galaxie 500 consisted of Olivier Langevin (guitar and vocals), Pierre Girard (guitar), Fred Fortin (guitar and vocals), Simon Gauthier (bass), and Michel Dufour (drums).
Several changes in personnel occurred between the recording of the two albums. For Le Temps au Point Mort, Langevin was joined by returning members Girard (guitar) and Fortin (drums), and by Vincent Peake (bass) and Frank Lafontaine (keyboards) of Karkwa.
