Galactic - The Other Side of Midnight: Live In New Orleans
(CD/Digital) Anti- Records 87152, 2011-05-02
New Orleans outfit
Galactic has a well earned reputation as one of the most exhilarating live acts around. Last year the band released the critically acclaimed genre defying sonic tribute to the Big Easy entitled
Ya-Ka-May, which The Boston Globe described as "an album that showcases a breathtaking array of New Orleans talent, from old-school R&B legends to influential underground hip-hop artists" and the Huffington Post proclaimed as “NOT your grandparents' New Orleans record!” Now the celebrated outfit offers up a rollicking live counterpart to
Ya-Ka-May with
The Other Side Of Midnight: Live In New Orleans out 5/3 via
Anti- Records. The album was recorded during an electrifying sold-out show at legendary New Orleans’ nightclub
Tipitinas which has hosted countless luminaries such as the
Neville Bros, the Meters, Dr. John and Professor Longhair. The venue has, of late, become something of a regular home court for
Galactic, with the band playing multiple sold out shows at the historic club throughout the year. Like
Ya-Ka-May,
The Other Side of Midnight: Live in New Orleans features a host of guest appearances from the bawdy hip-shaking gender bending “bounce” star
Big Freedia to local legends
Cyril Neville and
Trombone Shorty, the whole thing capturing
Galactic's deep musical relationship with their storied hometown. Only in a city like New Orleans could a night this raucous, sweaty and wild also be so incredibly profound.
