New Orleans is a lot of things to a lot of people, but to the guys in the band Galactic, it’s the motherland of funk. In today’s Boing Boing tv episode, Xeni and Russell catch Galactic’s Crescent City Soul Crewe live at the Outside Lands festival, and speak to them about the band’s homage to this birthplace of jazz and its ancestral influence on many other forms of modern music. The band’s newest release, From the Corner to the Block, is potent stuff, and pulling in rave reviews all over.
