“We’re releasing our first single “Circles & Boxes” along with video, on the 10th February. Check us out and stay tuned for new music”!
Galivantes “Circles & Boxes” is the first single from their self titled album debut and also the first release from fledgling label Do It Ourselves (DIO) recordings. Galivantes are well respected on the UK live scene with many headline and festival shows under their belts but a lack of recordings has meant that, outside of die hard fans (who go to EVERY show), they’ve been unable to share their own brand of in your face, get up and bounce, trumpet-punk with a wider audience. Galivantes and DIO really hope you enjoy the vibes and we’d love to hear what you and your audience think.
Introducing Galivantes: Manchester’s Eclectic Eight-Piece Ska Sensation
Galivantes, an exuberant eight-piece ska band hailing from Manchester, defy easy categorization with a unique sound that seamlessly blends influences from skapunk, reggae, disco, folk, and rock. What sets them apart? Three lead singers and an energetic fusion of driving beats, fiery vocals, crunching guitars, funky bass, and a brass section that adds a chaotic yet delightful element to their music. Picture a sonic concoction that channels the spirit of The Pixies and Sublime, all wrapped up in a politically charged power-to-the-people message.
Their journey has been marked by memorable performances alongside a diverse array of acts, including Akala, Honeyfeet, DJ Woody, and the Hackney Colliery Band. Galivantes were chosen to grace the stage at the launch party of HOME Mcr, an event organized by none other than Danny Boyle. They’ve also taken center stage at prestigious UK music festivals such as Kendal Calling, Shambala, and Audio-farm, leaving audiences buzzing with their electrifying performances.
Notably, Galivantes’ impact goes beyond the music scene; they’ve even had a beer named after them! This eclectic ensemble is more than just a band; they are a sonic force ready to ignite the soundtrack to any revolution. As one enthusiast aptly puts it, “If there is gonna be a revolution, Galivantes are going to be the soundtrack.” Prepare to be swept away by the infectious energy and revolutionary vibes of Galivantes – Manchester’s musical mavericks.
