Big Gigantic to bring saxophone with beats to Cosmic Charlie’s

November 5, 2009
By Big Gigantic was beginning to create a reputation for themselves, but they had nothing recorded that really captured the unique electronic saxophone sound that they had mastered.
“After we released (“Fire It Up,â€) I had people asking for the sax with the beats. That’s why we released “Wide Awake,†our new EP. It’s more of a representation of what we sound like at a live show,†Lalli said.
“Wide Awake,†a five-track EP, was released late summer on their Web site, biggigantic.net. The composition, like the prior album, is available for free download.
With so much success this early in their career, Lalli admits to being somewhat surprised and feeling the pressure to keep pushing forward.
“It’s definitely a little crazy,†he said. “I was hoping to be where we are now a couple years from now, but I love playing and making music so it’s really fun for me.â€
Big Gigantic will make their first stop in Lexington on Saturday. The Colorado natives will play at Cosmic Charlie’s at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the venue. Individuals under the age of 21 will not be permitted.
Lalli said to expect “a high-energy dance party with some dope lights and a lot of raging going on.â€
