Prior to setting off on “Sky High,” BIG GIGANTIC will return Saturday, September 28 to the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado for their second annual event, the massive hometown show “ROWDYTOWN.” Voted the #1 EDM show of 2012 by the Westword, last year’s debut marked the first time a band ever used projection mapping visuals on the venue’s rocks. Round 2 will feature a bigger lighting rig, more projection mapping, support from Adventure Club, Carnage and Manic Focus and much more.

About Big Gigantic:
Formed in 2008, saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli (classically trained with a master’s degree in jazz from the Manhattan School of Music) and drummer Jeremy Salken interpret traditional DJ-based music with live instruments and have successfully created an innovative, distinct sound that’s all their own. Their transcendent live shows are a showcase of brilliant improvisation and a tightly-knit bond between Salken and Lalli, who breathlessly alternates between keys, sax and laptop, building a futuristic wall of sound that keeps the crowd on its feet. The duo leaves no genre off-limits as they channel everything from funk and dubstep to house and hip-hop. Their latest album, NOCTURNAL, was released in early 2012 via their own label Big Gigantic Records as a free download on their website www.biggigantic.net and has received over 750,000 downloads to date. BIG GIGANTIC have spent the last year and a half on various sold-out headlining tours across the county and received rave reviews from their many festival appearances that have included Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Hangout, Austin City Limits, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest and Outside Lands among many others.
