Despite the name, the members of Galactic do not come from some other galaxy. Their sound, on the other hand, is a little out of this world.
“Out of this world” may have been a bit of an exaggeration, but Galactic’s tunes are reflective of the band’s hometown of New Orleans. A little bit of jazz mixed with bits and pieces of electronica, hip hop, and funk, the sextet have successfully blended the genres in each of their albums from their formation in 1994.
Since their most recent album release last year, Galactic has been traveling and playing shows around the world. Though their hasn’t been word of a new album (yet), the jazz-funk band has released a new single titled “Dollar Diva” just last month. Along with the new single came the announcement of a US tour, and as a part of their tour, Galactic is making a stop at the 9:30 Club on Thursday, February 13, and we have a pair of tickets to give away!
“Dollar Diva” is the latest single from the New Orleans band. The track doesn’t just feature their unique, signature jazz sound, it also features the vocal talents of Dave Shaw from The Revivalists and Maggie Koerner.
To win tickets to see Galactic at the 9:30 Club on Thursday, February 13, post a comment below naming your favorite movie with intergalactic characters. I’m going to go with Lilo & Stitch. Yes, I still love good ol’ Disney movies.
A winner for the pair of tickets will be chosen at noon on Wednesday, February 12. Tickets are still available for purchase!
