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.
The
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 continueto
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 WELCOMES VISUAL ARTISTS AND ARRAY OF OPENERS FOR "SIGHT
OF SOUND" TOURGalactic
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. Check out all of Galactic's

FREAKO
IN RICO Galactics
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 bands 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.
