Do yourself a favor and call in with a hangover this Friday, and blame it on Big Gigantic and Pnuma Trio. Hailing from Colorado, Big Gigantic is an epic soundscape collaboration by Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken. Lalli's sexy, melodic sax and innovative sampling on the keys, combined with Salken's impromptu work on the drum kit, is a rare treat. Expect endless, innovative jams and colossal sound — that name wasn't randomly chosen.
Headlining act Pnuma Trio comprises Alex Botwin, Lane Shaw, and Jon Hazelgrove, who deliver a heap of glitch-heavy space electro. Expect a dirty delivery of bass beats from Botwin, while Hazelgrove loops you in circles with a layering of mind-blowing effects on the keys. Shaw holds down the fort, effortlessly drumming as the melding force pushing the sound forward. Pnuma Trio is known for its progressive, superexperimental style, so be prepared to get lost in thoughts that might not activate motor skills. The band's live show has the potential to blast you into another dimension, without those heady hallucinogens.
