    A large experimental effort is geared towards measuring the shape of the galaxy power spectrum over large volumes of the Universe. While a lot of emphasis is placed -with good reason- on the cosmological information that can be extracted from the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations signal, I will take a complementary approach and I will highlight some of the science that can be done with the broad-band shape of the power spectrum.
