Last year the band released the critically acclaimed genre defying sonic tribute to the Big Easy entitled YA-KA-MAY, which The Boston Globe described as "an album that showcases a breathtaking array of New Orleans talent, from old-school R&B legends to influential underground hip-hop artists" and the Huffington Post proclaimed as "NOT your grandparents' New Orleans record!" Now the celebrated outfit offers up a rollicking live counterpart to YA-KA-MAY with The Other Side Of Midnight: Live In New Orleans, released May 3rd via Anti- Records. The album was recorded during an electrifying sold-out show at legendary New Orleans' nightclub Tipitinas which has hosted countless luminaries such as the Neville Bros, the Meters, Dr. John and Professor Longhair. The venue has, of late, become something of a regular home court for GALACTIC, with the band playing multiple sold out shows at the historic club throughout the year. Like YA-KA-MAY, The Other Side of Midnight: Live in New Orleans features a host of guest appearances from the bawdy hip-shaking gender bending "bounce" star Big Freedia to local legends Cyril Neville and Trombone Shorty, the whole thing capturing GALACTIC's deep musical relationship with their storied hometown. As Galactic bassist Robert Mercurio explains, “For this night, we invited a lot of guests that inspired and participated in our last couple of albums--this night felt like the culmination of years of touring with these guests†Only in a city like New Orleans could a night this raucous, sweaty and wild also be so incredibly profound.

Looks like THE JIMMY SWIFT BAND have now become THE SCIENTISTS OF SOUND www.scientistsofsound.com

http://www.aaroncollier.ca/AARONCOLLIER/HOME/Entries/2011/5/13_Goodbye%2C_JSB.html# Goodbye, JSB After nearly 10 years of playing with Craig Mercer and Mike MacDougall along with numerous other excellent musicians, The Jimmy Swift Band has run its’ course and we’ve decided to pull the plug. It’s not an easy decision to make, and there’s so many factors that play into it. There’s been a world of accomplishments to be proud of including thousands of tourdates in Canada, the US, China and beyond, 6 recordings and a live DVD... Unanimously I think the more cherished of all are the friendships we’ve gained along the way. JSB has enjoyed a vibrant and beautiful fan base that has truly supported us all along the way. JSB was an independent band, and most of the money we used to tour, buy instruments, rent studios, pay rent or eat supper game as a result of fans buying tickets to shows and buying our albums when they got there. Thank-you doesn’t even begin to cut it, but Thank-You. Onwards and upwards - may this pocket of the world be ever blessed with the love of music.

Now that was great! Great to see so many friendly faces. I was only up for the Sunday, so I can't speak for the first two days... but I really had a great time - House of David Gang & High Plains Drifter tore it up on the main stage. Big ups to the ShotSki crew and their burning bar - that was insane.

Hippy Birthday Booche!

I am happy to hear that Burt Neilson will live on indefinitely!

I'm not a huge PJ fan, except for when 10 came out 20 years ago.... but I was at the show in London Ontario back in 2005 and I really enjoyed it... definitely a good live band!

who's comin' to gi'ver House of David Gang plays Sunday Night!

Apparently one of the original band members had some pent up frustrations and quit. I don't think they'll be any reunion show or final show... They aren't all on talking terms.
