Latest Updates
- Work on the next album continues.
We're back at Sandgate Sound this weekend (snow permitting) to record another half a dozen contenders for the next album. So far we've already got nine songs ready to mix on the mighty 8-track tape machine. From that total of fifteen we'll probably choose 12 to appear on pristine 12" vinyl later in the year.
If you're very lucky we might find a rough mix or two to tempt you with sometime soon...
- Old vinyl added to the store!
We've unearthed some boxes of vinyl from the attic...
Now available, both albums by Phaze on vinyl and two 7" singles by the Solarflares. Check out the store!
- Another stash of old CDs unearthed...
We've found another couple of boxes of unopened CDs by the Prime Movers from the 90s... This may be the last batch ever, so complete your collection now in the Store...
Also unearthed - boxes of vinyl 45s by the Solarflares. As soon as we get some suitable packaging those will be put on sale as well.
- The Galileo 7 - Are we having fun yet?
- The band asks, Are We Having Fun Yet?. Boys, we’ve had fun since the first note, and it lasted long after the record was over. [Read More...]
- Gigs!
Our next gig will be on Saturday October 22nd at the Edge of the Wedge, Southsea. Support from the Flavours.
We've also got one of our occasional jaunts to Euroland coming up in November - if the European banks haven't collapsed and taken society down with them...
Assuming the can is still being kicked down the road by then, we'll be playing at Le Zone de Confusion (Lille, France) on Friday 18th November and Le Tipi (Liege, Belgium) on Saturday 19th.
- New track available now!
We've got a brand new track on the new Medway Eyes compilation 'ME3'. All proceeds go to OXFAM and there are 47(!) tracks by various Medway artists. Our track is called 'Ella'. We've been doing this one at gigs for a while and this was our first attempt at recording it. The song will probably be on the next album, but it won't be this version.
- New album on the way...on vinyl!
We've started recording our next album, and after getting a lot of requests for a vinyl release of our first album, we've decided to do this one properly.... We're recording on 8 track analogue tape, the first release will be on vinyl, and none of the songs will get near any digital processors until the cd version (and downloads) are released. It will be out sometime around Spring 2012 and will appear on State Records - home of our good friends The Higher State and Groovy Uncle.
- New track on compilation, gigs coming up and gig wanted
We've got a brand new unreleased track called 'Ella' on the forthcoming ME3 compilation released by Medway Eyes. All proceeds to Oxfam, available for download on October 7th.
'Ella' is a new song we've been doing live for a while and will appear on the next album - but it won't be this version...Next gig is at The Edge of the Wedge in Southsea on October 22nd...
Then we're back in Belgium on Saturday November 19th at Le Tipi. And we need a gig in Belgium, Holland or North East France for Friday November 18th! If you can help write to us at thegalileoseven@hotmail.co.uk .
- Gigs in the diary
We've got a couple of UK gigs coming up. Have a look at the shows page...
And we start work on some new recording in the next few weeks. Don't know who's releasing it, whether it will be a single, EP, album, download or what... but there's some cracking new songs ready to go. We'll work out the finer details as we go!
- Radio 2 airplay
Mark Radcliffe played 'Orangery Lane' on his Music Club on Tuesday 21st June. The show is available on the BBC iPlayer for 7 days.
Meanwhile, we've made a promo vid for Orangery Lane.
