Galactic is proud to announce the February 2013 “Freeze Out Tour” which will embark from Mardi Gras in New Orleans before heading out west. The band will be joined by alternative hip-hop group LATYRX featuring Lyrics Born & Lateef the Truthspeaker. The groups have a history of collaborating together, most notably on Galactic’s album “From the Corner to the Block”. LATYRX will open eleven of the sixteen shows on the tour and can be expected to join Galactic for portions of their set along with guest vocalist Corey Glover (of Living Colour). After a stop in St. Louis at The Pageant the tour will head west with 2-night-stands in Denver and San Francisco. Galactic continues to tour on the strength of their modern Mardi Gras themed album Carnivale Electricos.
The band recently launched their first ever fan remix contest for the song Ha Di Ka (feat. Chief Juan Pardo & The Golden Comanche), in partnership with the popular remix platform Indaba Music. After over 1,000 entries, the top three remixes will be featured as a exclusive remix EP free download via Relix.com on Jan 7th.

Ok, here is the deal. I have NEVER won a PDX pipeline contest. And I have entered MANY. Please choose me to win this one as my first. Because I love this band. I saw them for the first time at my very first Waterfront Blues Fest this past summer. And they will be fantastic at the Crystal Ballroom. I am not sure what else to say other than… PLEASE CHOOSE ME!
From the first time I saw Galactic at the Six Rivers Brewery in Humboldt I’ve wanted to get in on another of their live shows. Hopefully this is the one providing me a blast from the past!?
Love me some rump shaking, hip swaying, heart pounding, sweat inducing Galactic funk!
Would love to see Galactic at the Crystal. I’ve tried many times to win tickets here and have yet to succeed. Hope I get lucky this time.
Oh wow!! I am desparate to score a few of these tickets for this show! I would do anything, including slurp down a Rocky Mountain Oyster to win! I want to get my boogie on with the boyfriend! We would love a night out at ye ole Crys.
I would like to invite my sister an her husband who live in junction city to a fantastic evening in portland, but I don’t have any money. we have never been able to invite them to party like portlandians do. Need those tickets
Sounds like a great show!
I would love to take my girl out on the town. We loves dancing, and Galactic just does it for us. Missed them at the Blues Fest, so would love to get another chance to go dance to their grooves. Twirl and Sway!
I Need a Galactic Fix.
“Music is the language of the soul,
dance is the language of the body.
Body and soul, music and dance conceive an instrument
of expression through which the spirit communicates.”
- Maestro Hector Zaraspe
I could use a little funk to boogie out the blues!
Döm ej allt du ser, Tro ej allt du hör, Gör ej allt du kan, Säg ej allt du vet, Förtär ej allt du har, Låt ingen veta vad du har i hjärtat eller pungen.
Do not judge all you see, do not believe all you hear, do not do all you can, do not say all you know,
do not eat all you have, let no one know what you have in your heart or in your wallet.
Love me some Galactic! Haven’t had the opportunity to see them live since a gig at the Double Diamond, in Aspen, Colorado 10 years ago. My appreciation for their music has just grown and grown ever since.
My roommate has seen them live and he constantly raves about how great they are. I must experience them for myself!
Been missing NOLA so much… Would love to hear Galactic’s booty shakin rhythms with Latyrx, an old fave! Thanks!
I say hey nah nah
I.sayhey nah nah
The fleur de lis of funk is about to blossom in my soul! Let me celebrate the energy of this incredible band with the rest of Portland’s sweaty soul sisters and brothers. We’ve got to stick together.
i would love to win because i have never seen Galactic and i really would like to !! yes, please. also i want to see the opening band.
<3 Galactic
I would LOOOOVE to see Galactic!!! P-P-P-Pleeeease
Need some NOLA funk to combat the endless grey drizzle.
Bring on the funk!!!!!
It’s jazz week here in pdx and I would like nothing more then to check out some sweet groovy tunes and blast off into funky outer space
Woohoo Galactic! Lyrics Born is no House Man, but I’d love to see the boys in action one more time. Hook me up PDX Pipeline!
I’ve been seeing Galactic for more than a dozen years now, since The Houseman days. Always supporting these guys through the good and difficult times!
I missed Hot 8 and Rebirth this year, and would love to hear some NOLA jams.
Because from the corner to the block you can’t stop the music
Because, from the corner to the block, you can’t stop the music
or my commenting, apparently. . .
I had a really stressful week and think groovin’ to Galactic is the perfect remedy!
My in laws are in town, so we’ll have a sitter – and can actually go out!
Great band. Always worthy of seeing/hearing
I gotta see Galactic funk it out, hear Corey sing with his soulful passionate voice. Along with bouncing really really high on the floor at the Crystal and have the best time of my life at the show. Please let me Hey Na Na with the band.
Galatic is great and I’ve seen them many times over the years. As a pre-Waterfront Blues Fest fan, I’d really like to attend this show but there’s no way I can afford it since they got so popular. Alas, I’m glad to stand outside of the Goodfoot if I must but tickets to either event would be a splendid surprise! <3 <3 <3
I would love to see Galatic, please enter me in the contest. Thank you for the offer Pdx Pipeline!! I am a big fan of Galatic, I love their New Orleans jamband style. I also love Stanton Moore and his side projects. This is a phenomenal band to see at the Crystal Ballroom.
I want tickets!! My wife and I love Galactic!!! We are big fans and I will definitely score if I show up with tickets for this show as a 6month wedding present. Galactic was our first concert together, 5yrs. ago. She recently lost her job so we are trying to survive with just my salary if not I would totally buy the tickets.
Pick me so i have an reason to eat these mushrooms.
Pdx pipeline is the best, and I haven’t been to any PDX Jazz fest shows yet.
I keep managing to miss Galactic wry time they’re in town. This time with Lyrics Born and Lateef and Corey Glover?! I NEED this!
I’d like tickets because galactic makes my privates vibrate. And I like that. So can I please have some tickets? As you know, galactic makes my privates vibrate and I’d really like for that to happen. Thanks for considering it!
Galactic is my fave. My wife and I would be so excited to go… We could use a great show together!!
I would love to go to galactic because they are a fantastic band…and can’t afford tickets since I am the proud new owner of a coffee shop, thus broke! I have truly realized the emphasis of SMALL, when speaking of business ownership!!!
Just discovered this band through the song “Ha Di Ka’….it SPOKE TO ME, well, it SANG TO ME! Was singing it all day….moved here from New Orleans and need an NO fix if you please. Oh, and I’m a senior citizen and you need some diversity at the Crystal…Thanks.
I would love to win tickets to this show so that I could use the performance as the crucible within which I make sweet groovy dance magic intended to heal a very dear friends liver illness. He loves music and helped introduce me to y’all years ago in Eugene. Love+music+dance=healing
For the Peace Warrior.
My friend, Beth, has her birthday Sunday. I am taking her out in Portland, on Saturday. She lived in the NOLA area for a few years back. I would like to take “Crystal Beth” to the Crystal Ballroom to listen to some southern funk for her birthday. I would love to hear these guys live, and I know it would be special for her birthday. Can you hook us up? Thanks
Please, pretty please with a lardo double burger on top!
This NOLA boy needs to see Stanton lay down the funk.
I love listening to “new to me” music. I’d love to win these tickets!
I wanna go sooooo bad! Pick me please!
Party of the year. I must attend.
We went to New Orleans in early Jan. of this year and we didn’t get to hear any New Orleans Funk and very little Jazz. I would be great to hear music I traveled hundreds of miles for right here in my back yard.
Dancing to live LA funky soul is my best medicine! Oh please pick me, pick me!!
Pick me!!! Please!!! I love Galactic and will truly enjoy this show. Thank you!
It’s been about 10 years since I last saw Galactic. LONG OVERDUE!! Yes, please!
