We have a bangin’ remix of ‘Lose My Head’ to get in your lugs by Greek duo Boys’ Shorts featuring the incredible vocals of Sinead Campbell!
Sinead is a northern powerhouse soul singer, delivering uplifting catchy grooves with emotion-infused vocals and vintage touch and also features on ‘Higher’ from our Latest album Feel In Motion.
Their sound is a blend of everything they love to mix in their DJ sets – from House to slow techno and from disco to acid. To quote the boys “We make people dance!”
This remix will feature on our upcoming remix album Remix In Motion, released on 18/09 on Some Pulp Records.
Summer is here and we’re excited to share some Galaxians news with you….
Firstly, we hope you will give a warm welcome to our new singer, Beccy Young!
Beccy hails from Sunderland and is one half of the synth pop duo CHAT. She’s also a bonafide local legend; she even won an award with that title earlier this year for her work with young people learning music production in Sunderland. Beccy has brought both a sharp, sassy pop vocal style and a renewed energy to Galaxians, and we’re so excited to perform live together
Secondly, it’s been a very long time coming, but we’re thrilled to say that we have finished recording our new (as yet untitled) third album. The nine songs are probably our most varied yet, and we can’t wait to share them with you. We hope to have the album mixed and mastered by the end of this year.
Ross Halden at Hohm Studio
The album features vocals by Beccy on seven of the nine songs, with Bradford-born singer Sinead Campbell providing vocals on two songs. Sinead is a singer-songwriter, freelance Creative producer and Creative Wellbeing Coach. As a producer, Sinead enjoys taking on a multitude of freelance projects – from putting on music events to educational projects with young people. It’s been a privilege working with Sinead on this album, too.
This new album feels our most collaborative to date, and we’re also excited to have secured the creative talents of illustrator Ben Holden, who will be working with us on the album artwork. Ben is a multidisciplinary artist and musician living and working in the city of Bradford. His artwork includes art prints, posters, letterheads, newsletters, and murals. Past design commissions have included artwork for ‘Saltaire Inspired’, the South Square Arts Centre, the Bradford Review, and a poster and invitation for the 2019 David Hockney birthday celebrations at Cartwright Hall, Bradford.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us on Bandcamp so far in 2021. It means the world to us!
We hope your outlook is starting to feel a little brighter. Whilst we won’t be announcing rescheduled shows just yet, we can see a time in the not too distant future when we will share a space and a moment, and dance together.
On Friday 5th March, every artist selling their music and merch on Bandcamp will receive 100% of all sales.
Like many artists, we rely on a busy annual schedule of live performances and merch sales taken at shows to generate income. The amazing support we have received on Bandcamp Fridays and over the past twelve months has helped replace some of that lost income.
A few albums we’d like to recommend you check out:
In other news, we’re excited to announce that we will be hosting a new monthly radio show called Juicy Fruit on Manchester’s new community radio station, Ripe Radio.
Tune in at 5pm every last Saturday of the month for that, and check out the other great shows already happening!
Far from being a break from the grim reality of 2020, 2021 seems to have started as an out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire scenario for a lot of people. We really hope that you are coping okay and getting whatever support you need. Speaking for ourselves, music’s importance has never been greater to us than in the present.
As you might be aware, one of the results of Brexit is that UK bands, particularly those at our level, will no longer be able to afford to tour Europe. As it stands, UK artists touring Europe will now need to pay for work permits, ATA Carnets (£360), EORI numbers to sell merchandise and much more.
This is devastating news for bands like us. Touring is freedom and liberation. It offers us the chance to meet new people and forge new friendships. It gives bands like us the opportunity to try and reach new audiences and to break down borders and barriers in a way that only music can. Music unites us in a way that politicians and bureaucrats never can.
We have written to our local MP Rachel Reeves to ask her to put pressure on the UK government to enter into urgent negotiations with the EU regarding the introduction of a Musician’s Passport; a reciprocal, free, work permit-free, carnet-free, EU-wide touring arrangement that covers musicians and crew.
In other news, Bandcamp Fridays are back in 2021 and we’ll be doing our bit to support other bands and artists on the 5th of February. We released a new album Chemical Reaction on double vinyl and download in June 2020. We also have a range of new tees available, featuring a design by artist Rosie Rackham.
We’re thrilled to announce that we are hosting a new monthly show on Manchester’s community radio station Ripe Radio.
