It is that time of year again, GALACTIC will be rolling through town for their annual late October Halloween show. This is always one of the best shows in the Fall in Dallas, every year they deliver. GALACTIC will be joined by vocalist Maggie Koerner. Doors open at 8:00 PM and the show starts at 9:00 PM with DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND. Fans are encouraged to dress up and a prize will be given to the person with the best costume! Press and photo passes are available upon request. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

Galactic

GALACTIC (Ben Ellman, harps and horns; Robert Mercurio, bass; Stanton Moore, drums and percussion; Jeff Raines, guitar; Rich Vogel, keyboard; Corey Henry, trombone) cut their teeth playing the biggest party in America: Mardi Gras! The group’s robust, edgy, highly improvisational sound is a gumbo of NOLA sounds, from jazz to brass band, funk to electronica, and hip-hop to fusion. What pulls all the diverse elements together into a coherent sound is that one way or another it’s all funk. GALACTIC is, always was, and always will be a New Orleans funk band.

GALACTIC has been together so long they’re telepathic. Huffington Post says they are “one of the most important bands to come out of the Crescent City.” The New York Times describes GALACTIC as “a first-rate funk band” and Consequence of Sound raves, their music “defies you not to dance. Like the city during Mardi Gras itself, the groove never stops and there’s no last call.”

Dirty Dozen Brass Band

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND has been credited with rescuing the Crescent City brass-band tradition from the backwaters of musical history. An appetite for musicological adventure, a commitment to honor tradition while not being constrained by it, and a healthy sense of humor have brought the world-traveling DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND to this remarkable juncture in an already storied career. They have become as much a tradition as the music it celebrates: the upliftingly in-your-face sound of New Orleans. Once that brass hits your ears, it’s just about impossible not to party.
