Since then, the owners have repaved the parking lot, repainted walls, replaced floors, reupholstered booths and cleared out free-standing tables to provide better visibility of the stage. They rechristened it the Observatory in the fall, after undertaking a complete overall of the structure, including the installation of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sound and lighting equipment put in by the company that does light and sound for the annual Coachella and Stagecoach festivals. Local businessman and Costa Mesa native Jon Reiser, along with partner Courtney Michaelis, took over the Galaxy last August. The Galaxy reopened the following year, but over the past 10 months the once-decrepit club has experienced a rebirth, with new ownership, a new name and a new knack for booking top up-and-coming acts. The 550-capacity music venue off Harbor Boulevard on the southern edge of Santa Ana, which had hosted stars ranging from Beck to Little Richard, shut its doors after years of decline, prompting one patron to remark, “I’m surprised it didn’t fall down before it closed down.” Electric Callboy are literally “ready to fly” and invite you to sing and dance along on “Neon” with their worn but brilliant finale to end the album.Four years ago, the Galaxy Concert Theatre was an empty shell. “Neon”, like “Arrow Of Love”, surrenders to a nineties disco vibe that turns the track into a synth ballad and reveals a peaceful momentum of the album. Hardstyle beats (“Parasite”) also join the heavy and driving metal sound on “Tekkno,” adding a rhythmic component to the guitar riffs with electronic inserts that further polish their sound. Precise breakdowns meet hardcore beats and the synth-loaden sounds that make Electric Callboy’s sound unique. Between Eurodance vibes on “Arrow Of Love” and billowing EDM beats (“Tekkno Train”), Electric Callboy aim for a sound that, similar to “Hypa Hypa” reveals a Scooter-esque style, combined with the band’s metal guise. Electric Callboy, however, never lose their drive for catchiness, which is always given by cleverly placed choruses that perfectly complement the driving metalcore elements in their music. A hot contender for one of the most important metalcore albums of the year, “Tekkno” delivers the most diverse sound the band from Castrop-Rauxel has ever presented.Ī cinematic beginning slowly builds up “Mindreader” just before the track builds on heavy riffings in a stomping Slipknot manner. Singles such as “Pump It” and “We Got The Moves” proved how the band sounds in 2021, delivering a decent dose of heaviness at the beginning of their new album and an irresistible chorus that makes “Pump It” a true showcase for the versatility in their sound.Įlectric Callboy take their audience back to the 90s with “Tekkno” and combine feelings of nostalgia with their flawless and modern production. On top of strong ticket sales, Electric Callboy are also a remarkable force online, as reflected in over 150-million video views on YouTube, more than 500.000 followers on social media and 1.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Furthermore, they are looking forward to a completely sold-out UK tour in September to present their sixth studio album “Tekkno”. Electric Callboy are an exceptional phenomenon, who even managed to convince the Parookaville audience with their spectacular and ecstatic live show, while being the festival’s first rock band in time. With more than 60.000 sold tickets on a completely sold-out tour in Germany, almost sold out shows in France, the USA and other A-cities in Europe speak a clear language. Electric Callboy set another milestone in their career with their new album “Tekkno”. ![]()
