Gigantic

Consisting of drummer Jeremy Salken and saxophonist and producer Dominic Lalli, Big Gigantic is an electronic dance act based in Boulder, Colorado. Armed with muscular beats and basslines and loads of screeching and squealing synthesizer lines, they quickly connected with the festival circuit.

The influence and importance of The Pixies cannot be overestimated. Their style of broken, furious yet melodic and exceptionally catchy punk rock blazed a trail for such vital bands as Mudhoney and Nirvana, the grunge movement and the 90s British indie-rock sound. Bossanova and Surfer Rosa have become familiar members of the canon of great rock albums, although the group's initial career was cut short by the dismissive actions of singer-songwriter Black Francis/Frank Black.
