“THE NIGHT IS YOUNG” TOUR
LAUNCHES TODAY (FEBRUARY 12)
FOLLOWED BY FESTIVAL APPEARANCES AT COACHELLA, SASQUATCH!, COUNTERPOINT AND SPRING AWAKENING
BIG GIGANTIC have released their new album THE NIGHT IS YOUNG for free via their website www.biggigantic.net.
THE NIGHT IS YOUNG, which marks the fifth album by Boulder, CO-‐based saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken following Fire It Up (2009), Wide Awake (2009), A Place Behind The Moon (2010) and 2012’s Nocturnal (which has received more than one million downloads to date), is an eclectic mix of tracks that span genres from electronic and dance to hip hop and electro soul. With a provocative sound that’s as thoughtful as it is danceable, BIG GIGANTIC weaves whirling melodies into addictive beats and samples that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Kanye West or LCD Soundsystem single. No genre is off-limits for BIG GIGANTIC, whose breakthrough sound channels everything from funk and dub-step to house and hip-hop.
There are eight songs on THE NIGHT IS YOUNG including “Touch The Sky,” a blazing instrumental that made its debut in late 2013 to critical acclaim throughout the blogsphere, as well as its next single, the album’s title track which features Cherub. Look for its video which features both BIG GIGANTIC and Cherub to make its debut the week of February 17. There is also the crushing dubstep song “Lets Go!,” the dazzling sax hooked track “Just For The Thrill” and velvety number “Shooting Stars.”
BIG GIGANTIC launch their “THE NIGHT IS YOUNG Tour” today (February 12) in Sioux Falls, SD featuring support from Manic Focus, Gladiator and cakedup (on select dates). Encompassing more than 20 dates, the run will include stops in such markets as Madison, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Boston, Washington, DC, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Aspen and 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 two years on various sold-out headlining tours across the country and received rave reviews from their many festival appearances that have included Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Hangout, Austin City Limits, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest and Outside Lands among many others.
