Sometimes funk is so stanky, you’d swear it was out of this world. For lovers of otherworldly electronic jam-funk, Galactic is the go-to name.
The collection of musicians has been touring up a storm in the wake of last year’s Carnivale Electricos. We’ve got tickets to see the funk fanatics at the 9:30 Club this Sunday, April 14 to give away. How can you get your hands on ’em? The answer is as easy as funk is to spell.

The New Orleans staple has been rolling strong for a good dozen and a half years now. Though they started as a straight-up funk project, over the years they’ve picked up elements of hip hop, dance, jazz, and more.
Eight full-length albums and years-upon-years of jamming have provided Galactic with ample material for a long night of gettin’ knee deep in it.

So how can you get tickets to such a radical show?
In the comments below, tell us your favorite funk act of all time. Since I’m a sucker for star-framed glasses and 14-inch heels, I’m gonna have to go with Bootsy Collins. One winner for the pair will be chosen at noon on Friday, April 12!
