Galactic – 9:30 Club – Washington D.C.

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Back before the Thanksgiving holiday Galactic made a swing through both the New York and D.C. areas in sucsessive weekends. Seeing as how I bombed out on catching them in my own backyard, I jumped at the chance to make the road trip down to Washington with some friends to see them play at [...]
