Big Dipper

Boston, Massachusetts

Big Dipper was formed in 1985 amidst the fertile Boston music scene of the day, after guitarist Gary Waleik and bassist Steve Michener left the original lineup of Volcano Suns (which they’d formed with drummer and vocalist Peter Prescott after the breakup of Prescott’s earlier band Mission of Burma).
