Friends...tune in tonight to Dan Hegarty's show on RTE 2fm. David Galaxie and Michael Galaxie shall be playing a live tune and also talking about our summer schedule and recent trip to the night of the midnight sun. They will be on at around 12 midnight... just the way we like it!

Le Galaxie are just back from Sweden, having played an incredibly intense and hot set in inexplicably hot and sweaty weather. Seriously, we have never been so exhausted after a set as we were on Saturday night.
We would like to thank all our Swedish friends old and new for making us feel so welcome.

LE GALAXIE

TRANSWORLD

The debut EP releasing May 15^th 2009

Available from on-line music sites and selected retail outlets.

 

Le Galaxie, the overlords of thunderous mega electro rock, release their debut EP Transworld, on Friday May 15^th 2009 on Battlepulse Records.

 

Transworld follows on from the 2008 single releases We Bleed The Blood Of Androids and You Feel the Fire! The EP features four tracks, Transworld, Beyond Transworld, The Fury and Equalizers. According to the band, they took to the Le Galaxie sonic laboratory, donned their white coats, pushed up their spectacles, pulled down their visors and built these tunes like a huge wall of Tetris. The result is a combination of dance, electro, sci-fi and vocal distortion.

 

Over the last year, Le Galaxie have built a magnificent reputation for their increasingly chaotic live performances. Creating high-energy explosions on each and every stage they invade, the band relishes the opportunity to perform live. According to Le Michael Galaxie, “nothing fuels the Le Galaxie mothership more than a crowd of people who have no fucking idea who we are”.  More often than not, strangers become fans. At a recent late-night club gig at Whelan’s in Dublin, Swedish band I’m From Barcelona approached Le Galaxie, inviting them to perform at this years illustrious Popadelica Festival in Sweden in May. Along the way, Le Galaxie have performed with numerous bands including The Presets, Amusement Parks on Fire, Brakes, This Will Destroy You, Fight Like Apes and The Whip.

Prior to tonight's two shows (Whelans / DCU) Le Galaxie are heading out to the Phantom outside broadcast unit for an interview and a live track.

Tune into Phantom after lunch this afternoon to hear Le Galaxie play a Dan Deacon inspired version of "We bleed the blood of Androids" live on air, and probably talk about everything but music.

Doors: 7:30

Le Galaxie
Sleep Thieves
Psychic Kids (ex-Betamax Format, debut show)

Le Galaxie are now on Facebook here.

Come, let us union.

[More Facebook content to be added soon - "become a fan" (Facebook jargon!) and be notified of some new exclusive audio and photos that we will be adding soon - probably]

We've never heard of Wake Forest and the Wake Forest University in North Carolina, but apparently it's full of intelligent, articulate heroes.
