Galactic's bringing their raw New Orleans funk to the West Coast again!
Their third west coast tour begins today, and I thought I'd send the
current schedule. Note that there will be gigs in San Francisco, San
Jose and Los Angeles in early April but we dont have the venue info yet.
If you're from these areas keep an eye on galactic's online schedule at:

Some cool news that Galactic fans might enjoy:
- DJ Greyboy is joining them on a few dates in Colorado.
- Galactic drew 700 people to Tipitina's last Friday night as a solo
act, and then did it again Saturday night at the Varsity in Baton Rouge.
- Their CD is being released in the UK this month, and has already
gotten airplay on Jazz FM and some press (which i havent seen yet).
- Concert tapes distributed by fans have made their way around college
campuses nationwide. Recent first-time trips to the northeast had them
drawing good crowds who'd already heard them live thanks to the tapers.
- A few tunes from the last west coast tour are online - listen to a
preview of the Galactic show RIGHT NOW:
