Brad - Is that the band from Mtl we were talking about, with Joe Grass on guitar?

Yup, you can hear his name during the band intros at the tail end of the recording. I think I only saw them twice: the above show (when they opened for Wassabi Collective), and earlier in 2003 when they opened for Butterflies & Zebras.

Aloha,

Brad

Ha! This set is so much fun. Would have been a blast to attend. Hopefully a sbd recording will surface someday.

Umphrey’s McGee - All Night Wrong (7th Street Entry, Minneapolis, MN, February 2, 2012)

Following last night’s performance at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN, Umphrey’s McGee offered their first-ever all-cover late night set dubbed “All Night Wrong†at the nearby 7th Street Entry. While the set featured no new covers, the band did run through a number of classics which were voted on by fans. The night kicked off with a take on Rush’s “YYZ,†before diving into a dubbed out version of “Pink Floyd’s “Breathe†and Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.†Later in the set, guitarist Jake Cinninger replaced Kris Myers on drums for a take a second Zeppelin tune, “Moby Dick.†The show closed out with a pair of Talking Heads covers, “Making Flippy Floppy†and the encore “Burning Down the House.†- jambands.com

Galactic – Carnivale Electricos

Call it Mardi Gras, or call it Carnivale. Galactic captures the modern vibrancy of this annual bacchanal - and blazes a trail to its future - on Carnivale Electricos, the group’s most ambitious release to date, set for release on Mardi Gras Day, Feb 21, via Anti- Records. Over the course of thirteen tracks, Galactic explores the connections between the Mardi Gras in their native New Orleans and the mighty megacarnivals of Brazil, whisking listeners between neighborhoods and cultures on a parade of genres from blistering rock, hip hop and r&b, to samba, zydeco, jazz and of course, funk.

NOLA guests on the record span several generations and styles from Neville brothers Cyril and Ivan, to rappers Mannie Fresh and Mystikal (making one of his first recordings since being released from prison); from Big Chief Juan Pardo, one of the youngest Mardi Gras Indians, to the KIPP Renaissance High School Band, one of the city’s most riotous marching bands.

Brazilian influences on the album are similarly diverse including a cover of the Sergio Mendes Carnivale classic “Magalenha†and Galactic’s new composition, “Guero Bounce,†which pairs Brazilian rhythms with a New Orleans Bounce beat. “Julou,†named for the band’s own off-the-grid Mardi Gras parade, is inspired by another popular Carnivale melody, while †O Côco da Galinha†features rising Rio samba star Moyseis Marques.

Galactic will tour the US extensively this winter and spring, headlining some of its largest venues to date, including a stop at NYC’s Terminal 5 on Feb 25 for a show that will feature special guests Steel Pulse. Corey Glover (Living Colour) and Corey Henry (Rebirth Brass Band) will join the group as special guest vocalists, while openers on the tour will include Orgone and the Soul Rebels. See below for complete dates.

Following the breakout critical success of their previous two albums From The Corner To The Block (2007), and Ya-Ka-May (2010), Carnivale Electricos represents an unparalleled cross-section of contemporary carnival music that required Galactic to draw on all the skills, stamina, and funk they deploy at their annual all-night Lundi Gras concerts, which like the band itself have become a NOLA institution. In the nearly two decades since the band began, they’ve performed or recorded with everyone from BB King and Jeff Beck to Jurassic 5 and The Roots, playing every major US festival along the way including Coachella, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, and of course JazzFest.
