Background notes
Archive material and source history
Galactic formed in New Orleans in 1994. They're a funk band that pulls from the city's traditions, mixing in rock and soul elements with horns and rhythms that get people moving.
The group's core has included Robert Mercurio on drums, Richard Vogel on bass, Ben Ellman on saxophone, and Stanton Moore on drums. They've brought in other voices too, working with singers like Macy Gray and Mavis Staples, as well as New Orleans fixture Allen Toussaint. Songs like 'Uptown Odyssey' and 'Heart of Steel' show their range within that funk foundation.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit their home city hard, and Galactic had to leave for a while. They came back, though, and kept playing. Their music doesn't try to be more than what it is: solid, danceable funk from a band that knows where it comes from.
