// GALACTIC MEDIA RECAP //

Tuesday, June 21 – Friday, June 24, 2011

************************************************

Oh man–if you were anywhere near here last week, you were without a doubt experiencing the monument of sounds expelling from every crack of 61 Wythe Ave. That’s right my friends–New Orleans funk masters Galactic were in the building for a four night stint that peeled paint & melted brains. The band wasted no time getting busy with tracks off of their most recent record, Ya-Ka-May, throwin’ down covers that gave the originals a run for their money & featuring some serious special guest-age including Warren Haynes, Scott Metzger, ?uestlove, Eric Krasno, Steven Bernstein, Chali 2na, Nigel Hall and Jamie McLean. And yes, we too have been sporting that open-mouthed look of awe ever since.

Get funky and share your photos & videos captured during the event on our Flickr & Vimeo groups!

A BENEFIT FOR HAITI

ONE YEAR LATER

Tuesday, January 18 was one of the most awesome nights at Brooklyn Bowl to date. The event, Soul to Soul II, a fundraiser for Haiti, featured Lettuce, Maceo Parker, ?uestlove, Dr. John, The London Souls, and special guests that included Nigel Hall, Will Bernard, and George Porter, Jr. and Leo Nocentelli of The Meters. Overall, the night was a marathon of funk, and raised over $20,000 to benefit continued relief work in Haiti.

NEW YEAR’S EVE 2010

On New Year’s Eve, things got real. We had the legendary Roots crew in the house for a very special NYE celebration, which included not one… not two… but THREE. FULL. SETS. Then, because you know he can’t stop/won’t stop, our main man Questlove hopped into the DJ booth for a special late night edition of his weekly party at Brooklyn Bowl, Bowl Train. In their three sets, The Roots played hit after hit after hit, proving that they really are the hardest working band in the biz (not that there were any doubters). And when the clocks broadcasted on all the screens reached midnight, champagne bottles were popped, shots of Patron were passed around, Questlove tweeted, and lots and lots of love was shared all around. There was simply no other place to be.

Were you there? Post your pictures of the night to our FLICKR group and your videos to our Vimeo group. Show the worldwhat it’s like to get down at Brooklyn Bowl with the one and only Roots crew. If you missed it this time around, check out the links below for recaps, photos and videos.

?uestlove is the unmistakable heartbeat of The Roots, Philadelphia’s most influential hip-hop band. Beyond that, this Grammy award-winning musician’s undisputable reputation has landed him musical directing positions with everyone from D’Angelo to Eminem to Jay-Z. He boasts production credits for Al Green, Erykah Badu, Joss Stone, Justin Timberlake and D’Angelo, among many others. His uncanny ear for picking the perfect song for the perfect moment has landed him the position of musical director of The Dave Chapelle Show. And now his beloved Roots crew serves as house band for the NBC Jimmy Fallon Late Show.
