Update from Galaxians: May 2023

It’s been a while since our last bulletin, but we’re thrilled to share a couple of performance announcements for June and July.

9/10 June will see the final ever Long Division festival take place in Wakefield. LD is an institution in the city and we’ll be sad to see it go. We’ve been lucky to have experienced some of our most memorable and fun performances at the festival, including our first ever show with Emma on vocals in the unique setting of Neon Workshops.

On 7 July we play El Dorado festival at Eastnor Castle in rural Herefordshire, alongside a huge lineup of acts such as Crazy P Soundsystem, Sampa the Great and Shanti Celeste.  Regrettably we have had to cancel our appearance at El Dorado this year due to unforeseen circumstances – hopefully we will be back in 2024.

Then on 8 July we will share a stage with Factory Records legends A Certain Ratio at Right to Roam festival in Bolton.

Tickets for both events are available here:

Right to Roam: ticketfest.co.uk/event/right-to-roam-2023-boltons-premier-music-festival-over-5-incredible-venues

We can also announce with much excitement that we will start work on recording our third album in July this year at Hohm Studio in West Yorkshire with our friend, producer and long-term collaborator Ross Halden. Writing is still in the early stages, but we’re already excited about being able to share the new songs and recordings with you. Watch this space.

As ever, we’d like to express our heartfelt thanks for all the support we’ve received on the Bandcamp Fridays to date. For us, music-making is a lifelong journey. Your support helps facilitate the journey and as DIY / independent / unsigned artists your investment means the world to us.

The music industry treats music like sport. We say it isn’t. Music is collaboration, community, sharing. A communal exchange we all benefit from.

Love and peace

Matt Speaks To Pink Wafer in Sheffield Ahead Of Galaxians’ Live Appearance

“It’s hard not be affected by the live energy of Galaxians. Blending dense rhythmic synths, live and sampled drums, and insanely powerful vocals, Galaxians – preferably in some sweaty underground venue – are a band you need to open your heart to and experience.” PINK WAFER

GALAXIANS Support NYC Legends ESG On Their Final Ever UK Shows in March 2019

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be sharing the stage with NYC No Wave legends ESG on their final ever UK shows on 1 and 2 March 2019. Read on…..

ESG began life when the mother of the Scroggins sisters, afraid of the life of crime and drugs that awaited them on the streets of 70s Bronx, NY, presented her daughters with some basic instruments and encouraged them to make music together to keep them busy. What followed was, quite simply, a musical revolution.

The Scroggins sisters’ unique sound as Emerald Sapphire & Gold, or ESG, immediately spread right across Europe, with Tony Wilson’s FACTORY records releasing their debut EP in 1981. They played the opening night of the Hacienda nightclub, and their live shows have never been anything short of absolutely phenomenal.

They were welcomed into New York’s post-punk and no wave scene but in the end they’d prove more influential than most of their peers. Their style—funky and minimalist with a punkish sense of urgency—would become a key influence on house and the dancey side of indie rock (think LCD Soundsystem and DFA).

This exclusive UK is a rare opportunity to catch one of the most important DIY acts of all time in their native environment, the live stage.
