These guys just rock! Got into them earlier this year while procrastinating by watching the YouTube feed of Jazz Fest :mrgreen: These guys are New Orleans based jazz/funk/groove/what-have-you at its finest! Corey Glover from Living Colour has been doing some vocals for them live as of late. Sad I missed them this summer (they had a run at Brooklyn Bowl earlier, but it was all 21+...womp womp), then they came by near me last week but already had a concert lined up. Hoping to see them the next time they come around!

    I was at that New Orleans Jazz Fest show. I didn't know a thing about Galactic, but by the time they were half way through I was hooked. I've bought some shows off of iTunes and a few vinyls. Awesome band.

    You can download that Jazz Fest show off the Jazz Fest website.

    Great band. Seen them a couple times and will be catching them at Grand Point North in a month. Hoping they'll have Corey Glover in tow for that show, but not optimistic.

    These guys are so much fun live. Seen them several times, the best of which was Vegoose a few years ago when Gift of Gab, and Ladybug from Digable Planets joined them. They did a freestyle version of "Kashmir" that was crazy.
