Galactic's Stanton Moore powers Tom Morello's new Street Sweeper Social Club album

Moore first met Morello in November 2006 when the guitarist came to New Orleans for a Future of Music Coalition concert at Tipitina's. Two nights before the benefit, Moore performed at a party at the Mother-in-Law Lounge that Morello attended. As Moore recalled, Morello said, "Ask anybody who knows me — I hate drummers. But you've done nothing to offend me. You're my new favorite drummer." At Tipitina's, they briefly shared the stage; Moore also performed with trombone collective Bonerama.
