Le
Galaxie's joyous, ceiling-melting live shows paved the blazing neon
trail to the critically acclaimed debut album, 2011's Laserdisc
Nights 2, voted Entertainment.ie's #1 Irish album of the year.
Meshing
pounding techno rhythms, shimmering cyber-synths and cascading
dream-streams of sonic guitar-wizardry, the 4-piece have stamped
their 'grid vs. guitars' live dance frenzy on Ireland, UK, France,
Sweden and Germany. The Irish Times on their now legendary show at
2012's Electric Picnic: 'Over the past two years, Le Galaxie have
transformed themselves into a juggernaut of a party band, jack
knifing into crowds who are only too happy to take the hit. Without
question, one of the best sets of the weekend. *****'
Le
Galaxie's follow-up EP 'Fade 2 Forever' out now on the Delphi Label
and available to stream and buy at www.legalaxie.net

weekend. *****' IRISH TIMES
'[Le
Galaxie] showed once again why they are the best live dance act in
Ireland right now... the 2am slot feel like a late-night celebration
of a band who are only getting better.' NIALLER9
'Even
better are Le Galaxie, who have graduated from a 2011 lunchtime slot
to the show that everybody wants to see late tonight. They are simply
fantastic, faultless from start to a finish...' HeinekenMusic.ie
'For
sheer exuberance on stage no one came close to Le Galaxie over the
whole weekend. Their set began at 2am and one hour later everyone
inside the Little Big Tent was a mess of glee and exhaustion.
Lethal.' Entertainment.ie
'Le
Galaxie have upped their game to match their profile...But it is the
music, above all else, that make this performance one of the biggest
hits of the weekend...[They] depart stage-left safe in the knowledge
that they’ve just conquered Stradbally. Stay tuned as they continue
get bigger and better.' State.ie
'The
most danceable thing we’ve come across from an Irish band since
Jape hit his heights...' AU MAGAZINE
'Merging
all the delirious wonderment of Daft Punk with Kraftwerk, Le Galaxie
are that and so much more...' HARMLESS NOISE
'With
theatrical vocal quips and their brand-new debut album Laserdisc
Nights 2 clutched in glittering gloves of synthesizers and guitars,
pegged on rhythms that stomp like stilettos on glass...' LE COOL
'The
high-tide mark in Irish electronica thus far, in 2011...' ALTERNATIVE
IRISH REVIEW
'...an
album that glitters with eleven slabs of solid gold dancefloor
fillers...' THE SUN
'...they
launch into the kind of showing to leave you open mouthed in
astonishment. Surely, Le Galaxie’s cover as Ireland’s best kept
musical secret is about to be blown wide open...'
STATE.IE
The
entire set was a mind-blowing, sample-tastic,synth-shimmering,
teasingly-torrential guitar fuelled frenzy, which the crowd adored
them for....'
NIAMH
DOLAN, HEINEKENMUSIC.IE
'Meshing
pounding techno rhythms, shimmering cyber-synths and cascading
streams of sonic guitar-wizardry, sci-fi sampledelics Le Galaxie have
wasted no time stamping their 'grid vs guitars' ethos on 2008...'
BRENDAN
MORGAN, Drop-D.ie'
'Le
Galaxie is God!'
'The
combined energy of any of the bands on Castlepalooza’s first day
was nothing compared with the buzz from the crowd in the HMV tent for
those 40 minutes...'
CLUAS.COM,
CASTLEPALOOZA REVIEW
'...for
an instrumental synth band triggering sound bites about machines
taking over they certainly can rock out. Guitars and synths that
cascade and hey, surely techno geeknerds don’t rock out like this
do they?...bubbling and synthing and jumping about and crowd
participation amd alive like the heart of your nearest star. ...we’ll
be back for more...'
ORGANART.COM
'Plenty
to twitch and stomp your feet to here...out of this world...'
THE
SUN
'[We
Bleed The Blood Of Androids] is as fine an example as any of their
spaced-out, sci-fi inspired sonic explorations...manages to retain
and organic warmth that's rare to find in electronica...'
HOTPRESS
MAGAZINE
'[We
Bleed The Blood Of Androids] from loudly heralded Dublin space
rockers Le Galaxie sounds like Mercury Rev fronted by Hal, the
bonkers super-computer from 2001: A space odyssey. As eerie synths
creak and guitars swoon and sigh, a (possible insane) robot chirrups
menacingly in the foreground- all to goosebump-inducing effect.
Please buy this and make them famous...”
SINGLE
OF THE WEEK, METRO
'...‘We
Bleed The Blood of Androids’ manages to be about as intergalactic
as the name suggests, a sodastream of audio that is bubbling with
invention from start to finish...this is one of the few genuinely
exciting acts to emerge from the capital this year. Catch them before
they go supernova...'
MP3HUGGER.COM
'...on
the night [IMTV Awards] I saw one of the best live sets in recent
years by Le Galaxie...'
