artsyteach Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 so, i am all crazed..i just got back from the 9:30 club in DC and seeing galactic there was tight!!! they were so hot, i couldn't believe it!!! now, i gotta find a way to get to NY on friday at roseland ballroom to see them with talib kweli, and philly on sat. anyone going? anyone seen the ruckus tour?
CyberHippie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 What's the story with Houseman these days? IMO he's the only problem with the band.
artsyteach Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 wow, so sorry you feel that way. he comes out at the right times, and with teedy singing with him, they sound amazing. i think he keeps galactic new orleans' style funk insteading of blending in with everyone else. many people say the same thing as you, though, so i think it really changes once you see them live.
NewRider Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 I haven't seen Galactic this year at all though I'd love to. I personally like what the Houseman adds to the band as well. He's a good singer and has some decent lyrics to throw out there as well.

CyberHippie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 I've seen them a few times without Houseman. The last time they played at the Opera House, he was with them. I was like, who the hell is this dude? I found him to be ultra cheesey. Each to his own though. So, is he usually with the band, or is it a you never know kinda thing?
artsyteach Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 oh he's with them, but he has improved a lot, they also have a girl singer with them now too, teedy, she's amzing. together, they sound fabulous. yes, he's cheesy, but he's new orleans...
CyberHippie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 quote:Originally posted by artsyteach: he's cheesy, but he's new orleans... good point... I can't wait to see them again though. That female singer sounds like an interested addition as well.
DevO Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Hey Artsy Teach, are you from DC?? Living there?

mikey d Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 i saw them open for bb king and i wasnt impressed until about 3/4 of the way through their set where they realy started jamming. anyone heard any of the houseman's solo cds? i picked one up used the other day and its not bad. id like to hear them with the female vocals, as well as in a smaller venue and not an amphitheatre.
shainhouse Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 tell them to get their phat ass up to Toronto.
kung Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 I'd like to hear this new disc of theirs with the Dan The Automator production. Was just listening to Handsome Boy Modelling School the other day on headphones and was reminded of how great an album that is.
briguy Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 We should definitely get them up here, Hamilton preferably. Can't wait to see them. They're at the top on my list..
elemeno Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 i never liked the houseman until i gave a good listen to live at tip and tinas . i think houseman has trouble with the law and thats why he's not at some shows.
dieseldoug Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 The production on RUCKUS is great. Dan The Automator must be a piece of work!I'd like to find out more on this Dan The Automator.
