I'm so irritated that I'm going to miss this.
LE GALAXIE
+ Guests - Sergeant Megaphone & Adeyhawke
Le GALAXIE's amazing first year took their Grids VS Guitars mania to London Calling, Bud Rising, support with The Presets, Fight Like Apes & The Whip, the Electric Arena at Electric Picnic and a hit singles, 'You Feel The Fire!' and ‘We Bleed The Blood Of Androids' (available now from all on-line stores and selected retail outlets.)
An Irish tour in March 08 and invitation from I'm from Barcelona to the Popadelica Festival in Sweden indicates what a year already awaits aboard the LeGALAXIE mothership.
With joyous ceiling-lifting live shows, Le Galaxie are Michael Pope on guitar, vocoder and synths, Anthony Hyland on guitar, Alastair Higgins on drums and David McGloughlin on bass.
''Meshing pounding techno rhythms, shimmering cyber-synths and cascading streams of sonic guitar-wizardry, sci-fi sampledelics Le Galaxie have wasted no time stamping their 'grid vs guitars' ethos on 2008...' Drop-D.ie
''Plenty to twitch and stomp your feet to here...out of this world...'THE SUN
'Swooning, gorgeous atmospherics in the vein of Explosions in the Sky...This is 22nd-century madness...' JAMES MONTGOMERY, MTV.COM
'[We Bleed The Blood Of Androids] is as fine an example as any of their spaced-out, sci-fi inspired sonic explorations...manages to retain and organic warmth that's rare to find in electronica...' HOTPRESS MAGAZINE
'[We Bleed The Blood Of Androids] from loudly heralded Dublin space rockers Le Galaxie sounds like Mercury Rev fronted by Hal, the bonkers super-computer from 2001: A space odyssey. As eerie synths creak and guitars swoon and sigh, a (possible insane) robot chirrups menacingly in the foreground- all to goosebump-inducing effect. Please buy this and make them famous...”SINGLE OF THE WEEK, METRO
