Voodoo left our bodies and our ears quite exhausted, so it was not until the Wednesday following the festival that we made it to another show. New Orleans funk masters Galactic came into town for the start of their "Brass Tracks" tour, which featured special guests Shamarr Allen and Corey Henry on trumpet and trombone, respectively. Also on the bill were Oakland-based hip-hop group Crown City Rockers, who held down the opening slot.

We are giving away 5 pairs of tickets to see Galactic with special guests Shamarr Allen and Corey Henry and support act the Crown City Rockers at Houston's Warehouse Live on Wednesday, October 29th. All you have to do is send us a message from an active e-mail address that gives us your full name. That's it. Easy, huh? We will randomly pick the winners at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, October 28th, and immediately send email notification with details on how you can pick up your prize.

If you've never seen Galactic before, be ready for a dirty, gritty and nasty funk session featuring a host of very talented players. Lately they have been adding a slew of hip-hop tunes to their repertoire as well. If you like to get down, this is definitely the show for you.

There is always the chance of this show selling out, so if you're worried about not winning tickets, feel free to buy your own. Also, I can't forget to thank The Messina Group for enabling us to have contests like this one.

Festival season is a time to enjoy the company of many like-minded people in an atmosphere free from the worries of every day life. It is a time to see performances from several bands, spanning several genres, that you normally wouldn't get a chance to see otherwise. Wakarusa Music & Camping Festival, located just outside of Lawrence, KS, took place this past weekend, and served as Breakfast On Tour's jumping point for the 2008 festival season. It featured many highs and lows, but it all culminated into another unique festival experience for the BOT crew consisting of Toast and Eggs.

Wakarusa!

As you can tell, I am extremely excited about the initial artist announcement for this year's festival. It should be fun to see who else is added over the next couple of months. This week my Video Omelette features some of the bands that I am most excited for on the 2008 line-up.
