Galactic

Future-funk powerhouse Galactic is straight from the stripped-down, organ-fueled Meters school, but the band knows when to spike the punch with acid guitar, loops and effects. The NOLA outfit plays a four-nighter this week, with guests including Cyril Neville and Glen David Andrews (July 23), and Living Colour's Corey Glover and High & Mighty Brass Band (July 24).
