  • Bio

    Crowned by critics as the country’s loudest live band and fawned by fans as the nation’s best live band, the trippy wired trio of Galaxy Express have swiftly kicked and screamed their way out of the indie club circuit and onto the international festival scene to become the Republic of Korea’s renegade ambassadors of rock n roll. With their scorching debut double album, ‘Noise on Fire’, the band snatched nods for Best Rock Single and Musician of the Year honors as well as swiped the sash and tiara for Best Rock Album of the Year at the 2009 Korean Music Awards. Known for their no-holds barred, knockout concert performances, they somehow found themselves starring as themselves in a rockumentary road movie called ‘Turn It Up to 11!’ which picked up the Best Korean Indie Feature Film prize at the 2009 Pucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and the Audience Award trophy at the 2009 Seoul International Film Festival. Admired as an adventurous act both on and offstage, Galaxy Express has rumbled into 2010 armed with DIY ethos and loaded with WTF credos to produce one of the year’s most unconventional and unexpected album releases -- ‘Wild Days’. After leaving their record label on March 1st (Korea’s Independence Day), the band boldly announced on April 1st (April Fool’s Day) that they had a crazy concept to start from scratch and produce a brand new album in just 30 days. Dubbed the ‘Wild 30’ Project (http://galaxy30.tistory.com), they tweeted and blogged their entire creative process in real time which in turn, spurred thousands of online fans to join them as interactive, inspirational collaborators on each and every track. Thanks to the constant flow of fans’ ideas and suggestions via social media networks, Galaxy Express gallantly delivered their ambitious experimental album, ‘Wild Days’, on May 1st (Korea’s Labor Day). In promoting the worldwide launch of ‘Wild Days’ on iTunes Music Stores, Galaxy Express will be the first Korean artist to ever perform at the 2010 Music Matters Live showcase in Hong Kong (May 27/28/29). For Spring 2011, Galaxy Express is currently planning a North American movie and music tour.
