Galactic is a funk and jazz group from New Orleans. Originally formed in 1994 as an octet (under the name Galactic Prophylactic) and including singer Chris Lane and guitarist Rob Gowen, the group was soon pared down to an instrumental sextet comprised of The group was started when Raines and Mercurio, childhood friends from the Washington D.C. area, moved to New Orleans together to attend college at Tulane University, and became enamored of the local funk scene, populated by such legendary acts as The Meters and inspired by local legends such as Professor Longhair. There they teamed with noted New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore, who eventually became the driving force behind Galactic. In 2004, the band parted ways with vocalist DeClouet, and now continue as an instrumental group. The band has developed a unique sound as a result of their influences, including: Rap, Hip-Hop, Go-Go, Electronic, World Music, Latin Music, Rock, Blues and Jazz. Over the years, the band's sound has evolved from organic New Orleans funk to a more modern style, incorperating elements of hip hop, electronica, fusion, and jazz. This change has been largely characterized by the increased use of electronic effects on guitar, bass, saxophone, and drums. Drummer Stanton Moore uses phrase samplers to sample a rhythm which he can then play over, producing intricate and layered drum sounds. Ben Ellman, saxophonist and harmonica player, often distorts his instruments to the degree that they sound similar to an electric guitar. The band is also noted for inviting guest musicians from New Orleans to perform onstage with them. These include: the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Neville Brothers, Brian Seeger, George Porter of The Meters, and Skerik (a saxophone player who is actually based in Seattle, but is part of Stanton Moore's side project Garage A Trois), to name a few. The band is constantly on tour, and have shared the stage with acts including Live, Counting Crows, the Allman Brothers Band, The Roots, Widespread Panic, B.B. King, Mike Doughty (formerly of Soul Coughing), Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious), and Jurassic 5. Galactic's next album will include guest appearances from rappers including Lyrics Born (an MC and producer from the Quannum Projects hip hop collective). According to Lyrics Born's website, the guest artist line-up featuring MCs, DJs, and vocalists has already been determined, but it is being kept a secret for the time being. It has also been suggested that Galactic will be continue their current practice of taking a risky departure from their previous works on the new album.

Galactic: Theryl "Houseman" De Clouet (vocals); Jeff Raines (guitar); Ben Ellman (harmonica, tenor & baritone saxophones); Rich Vogel (keyboards); Robert Mercurio (bass); Stanton Moore (drums).

Additional personnel: Roger Lewis (soprano & baritone saxophones); Donald Sylvester, Sr., Sullivan Wallace, Eugene Jackson, Jr., Theresa Andersson (background vocals).

Recorded at Kingsway Studios, Magazine Sound Recording & American Sector, New

Orleans, Louisiana.

In keeping with the mood and feel of its first two albums, Galactic's LATE FOR THE FUTURE serves up yet another spicy gumbo of funk seasoned with a few other tasty ingredients. Teaming with Sonic Youth/Public Enemy producer Nick Sansano, the band explores the Medeski, Martin & Wood territory of instrumental flow and otherworldly grooves.

Though not as deep in the pocket as Medeski, Martin and Wood, Galactic still keep the proceedings bubbling along as they dabble in the Latin-flavored jazz of "Running Man," a fusion of lo-fi breakbeats and raunchy blues in "Bobski 2000" and "Jeffe 2000," and raunchy improvisation with "Baker's Dozen." Complementing Galactic's instrumental prowess is vocalist Theryl de Clouet whose raspy vocal style on songs such as the psychedelic soul of "Thrill," and the smoky bar nuance of the simmering "Running Man," give an idea what The Meters might sound like with Wilson Pickett as a frontman.
