Le Galaxie, known as one of the best live bands in the country, will launch a tour to promote their second album Le Club.

Nominated for the Meteor Choice Music Prize and named Irish Live Band of the Year, Le Galaxie will kick off their tour in Texas on March 19.

The band will tour from Texas to Dublin, before ending the tour in Dundalk.

Since recently signing with Universal Music Ireland, Le Galaxie will return with the release of their highly anticipated follow-up album Le Club on April 24 2015.

From the stomping opener “Put the Chain On” to synth-driven title track “Le Club” and back to colossal hit-makers “Humanise” and “Carmen”, the album is bursting with 14 shimmering electronica tracks heavy with rhythmic sequences, vocal samples and all round good sounds.
