Wednesday September 5th 6pm – Hollywood
AMOEBA HOLLYWOOD
6400 Sunset Blvd.

These New Orleans future-funk trailblazers take on Hip Hop and come up with their best album to date: “From the Corner to the Block” (out 8/21 on ANTI). Be here to bid on a Galactic prize pack (proceeds benefit New Orleans musicians charities) and get your CD signed by the band after the show! If you can’t make it to the show – watch it live on amoeba.com! Live in-store webcast at 6pm!!

With the release of their sixth album, From the Corner to the Block, the five-man group – drummer Stanton Moore, bassist Robert Mercurio, saxophonist/harmonica player Ben Ellman, keyboardist Richard Vogel, and guitarist Jeff Raines – reaffirms their standing as one of the funkiest outfits in the known universe. Featuring a cherry-picked guest list of some of hip-hop’s most dynamic lyricists – including Juvenile, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), Lyrics Born, Ladybug Mecca (Digable Planets), Mr. Lif, Chali 2na (Jurrasic 5), Vursatyl (Lifesavas), and Boots Riley (The Coup), From the Corner to the Block exposes Galactic’s organic grooves to an urban ear while still maintaining their essential funk aesthetic.
