Big Gigantic<\/a> commenced their Spring tour to a sold-out crowd at Terminal 5<\/a> this past Friday, March 11th<\/sup>. The performance was chock full of familiar samples, super funky sax, meticulous drumming and a new and unique stage setup that appeared to have the duo commanding a spacecraft through a galaxy of super light beams.<\/p>\n

Upon entering the venue, the energy level was extraordinary. Once Big G took the stage it was clearly evident why; the combination of their music style and the amount of energy and intensity they put into a performance is infectious. When you see saxophonist Dominic Lalli belting out a solo whilst sweating bullets or drummer Jeremy Salken laying down an intricate groove with tons of focus it\u2019s very easy to appreciate their talent & dedication and give it back by showing off your funkiest moves to those closest to you. Big G got the crowd super hyped with tracks new and old, namely their new single, \u201cLittle Things\u201d<\/a>\u00a0(feat. Angela McCluskey) which has an excellent balance of EDM styled builds and drops and anthemic piano\/sax along with an excellent dose of sultry, soulful vocals. They dropped some Griz x Big Gigantic with \u201cLet The Good Times Roll\u201d<\/a> as well as their celebrated remix of Aloe Blacc\u2019s \u201cNeed A Dollar\u201d<\/a> which had fans sending singles off of the third level balcony.\u00a0Ivan Jackson from Brasstracks<\/a> was Big G\u2019s very special guest and ably brought his brand of brass to the sold out crowd by guesting on a few tracks.<\/p>\n

Big Gigantic is forging an awesome place for themselves in the live instrument\/production genre\u00a0as their evolution of sound has continuously been on an upward trajectory. I\u2019m hoping to catch their sets at some festivals this summer as they will surely not disappoint.<\/p>\n

Around New York, you can see Big Gigantic performing at Summer Camp Music Festival on May 29\u00a0and Camp Bisco on July 14.<\/p>\n
