DAN THE AUTOMATOR TO PRODUCE NEW GALACTIC ALBUM -POSTED 04/21/03- Galactic is currently recording a new full-length album with producer Dan "the Automator" Nakamura. A follow-up to 2000's Late for the Future and 2002's We Love 'Em Tonight: Live at Tipitina's, the album is slated for release this fall. The band will be working with Nakamura at its own brand new studio in New Orleans until early May.

Dan "The Automator" NakamuraThe new recording project is an ambitious installment in Galactic's ongoing quest to present an increasing range of sounds to its exploding fan base. The band aims to create an album that furthers its artistic vision-to make music that is both rich and progressive by combining the rhythmic traditions of its hometown with modern influences and techniques. The album will continue to build on the new sounds and styles the band started to explore in 2002, when it began to blend genres and media while incorporating a variety of artists from the hip-hop/DJ arena into its incendiary live performances. Tours such as "Freezestyle" (winter 2002 and 2003) and "Sight of Sound" (fall 2002) featured such luminaries as world class DJ trio Triple Threat, graffiti artists SKW and Doze, and the New York City Breakers. These tours fed Galactic's current evolution and allowed the band to workshop ideas as it formulated its next phase.

Galactic kicked off its 22-date Sight of Sound Tour on Wednesday, October 30 at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas, followed by a special Halloween show at Stubb's in Austin, a two-night stand at Tipitina's in New Orleans, and an appearance at the Voodoo Music Experience.

Galactic is excited to announce a special contest for fans who purchase tickets to any show on Galactic's "Sight of Sound Tour" through Galactic Ticketing. Anyone who purchases a ticket for a "Sight of Sound Tour" date will be automatically entered into the contest and will have a chance to win great prizes.

Sight of Sound will offer audiences a one-of-a-kind, aural-visual experience when artists SKW and Doze join the band for select dates in the Northeast, creating an original mural live on stage during the band's performance. Artwork by SKW & Doze will appear throughout the tour on an original backdrop mural, ad mat, merchandise, and poster. Providing set, web site, and album artwork for artists as diverse as Smashing Pumpkins, Shabba Ranks, Busta Rhymes, and Wynton Marsalis, New York City-based artist SKW has made a career of merging music with visual arts. An accomplished filmmaker, he has directed and art directed videos by several hip-hop artists, including Mos Def, Common, and Guru. Doze Green was born and raised in New York City and is an original member of the infamous Rock Steady hCrew. He is well respected as a pioneer of Hip Hop Culture, a Graff Legend, and a Humanist. His paintings and sculptures interpret and explore the human condition by blending figures, letters, words, and symbols to fuse past, present and future states of the world. In addition to artwork by SKW and Doze, each show on the Sight of Sound Tour will feature a screening of Watching Paint Dry-a film by artists' collaborative the Barnstormers-which utilizes digital time-lapse photo technique to capture every shift in an ever-changing painted image. Plans are in the works for additional visual artists to join select shows.

The band is excited to be joined by Southern-fried roots-funk band Mofro who will hop on the Southeastern leg of the tour, and Americana blues-rockers the North Mississippi All Stars will open select dates in the Northeast. DJs will also appear in select cites, including Canadian turntablist Kid Koala, who will join Galactic for the second of a pair of tour-closing shows at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club.

FREAKO IN RICO Galactic’s Freako in Rico was a huge success as the three night run in the small mountain town of Rico, Colorado, completely sold out. What is expected to become an annual event, was a raging three night music marathon, as Galactic and three hundred of their die-hard fans, from places as remote as France, got down and funky at the intimate Rico Theatre. In celebration of this exciting event, Galactic recreated each of their studio albums, in the live context, performing one on each night. On the first night, the show was centered around the material from the band’s debut album, Coolin’ Off, which included several tunes that the band had never performed live. On the next night, they recreated Crazyhorse Mongoose in its entirety and then rounded out the run on night three with Late For The Future. With free camping available just a short walk from the club, after the shows ended, the party moved down the street where it continued several hours into the morning. The band hopes to make the celebration in this beautiful town an annual mid-summer event for many years to come. The band completed their Colorado run with appearances in Steamboat Springs and Denver for the Lodo Music Fest.
