In the great tradition of Medeski, Martin & Wood and the Average White Band, Galactic is a powerhouse ensemble that knows what buttons to push to keep one's spirits in overdrive. They revitalise funk with such passionate playing that they invoke the genre's classic glory days of yesteryear. And even though Galactic are current, they are a chip from the very same pillar that holds strong the "monument" that historically houses only the most elite and unstoppable of acts from the genre. Their swank and compelling energy makes an impact that is highly pleasing, and like all good funk, their music makes for a perfect compliment and tool to the art of social gatherings and the stirring of cocktails.
