About Me


giganta formed in Spring 2005 after vocalist Kathryn Stephens, guitarist Laura Miller, and drummer Carolyn O'Leary met through a winter project of WNCIs Morning Zoo to put together a rockin' all-mom band. Hunting for more rock and wanting to write music to knock Columbus, OH on its ass, bassist & vocalist Carrie Mularz was recruited & this 4-piece rock band began to define their sound.

Described as a rocking, moody PJ Harvey with a theatre degree the women of giganta are deeply steeped in the Columbus, OH rock scene. Their musical histories includes: Scrawl, Roadkill, Shukkin Bubba Deluxe, Fool's Crown, Hex on Wheels, Mrs. Elkhead, Final Prayer, Ouchcube, & Kitty Jones to name a few.

You better watch your back - giganta! What are you waiting for!?
