Galaxy Express live in Seoul

“We love jumping off amps and doing crazy things at gigs,” says Park. “We played a daytime party on the patio of a place called Easy Tiger last year during SXSW. There was a really big rock just outside of the patio entrance. I jumped off the stage, ran past the entrance and climbed on top of the rock to play guitar. The club said I was the first person to ever do that,” guitarist Park Jong-hyun told Groove Korea in an interview. This band truly rocks. Catch them live at Sangsang Madang at 5 p.m.
