GIGANTIC by name, GIGANTIC by sound!
Ironic really that with all the largeness associated with the group that the band is less a group by definition and more a duo.
West Aussie brothers Mark and Paul Di Renzo create passionate and articulate music that will drive you to be both a fighter and a lover. Armed with brilliant melodies, infectious harmonies, gutsy balls and all guitars, GIGANTIC have struck a chord with power pop lovers all around the globe!
The band have chalked up an impressive list of career highlights since 1999 that include:
- Releasing 3 EPs and an album internationally;
- Touring Australia, Europe, the USA and New Zealand;
- Being playlisted on super cool Aussie radio Nova and Triple J;
- Being nominated as “Most Promising New Band†in the Australia’s WAMI awards.
GIGANTIC’s Gigantaphonic Sounds album can do no wrong. Following a successful Aussie release with radio, press and punters alike, Barcelona’s prestigious Bip Bip Records made GIGANTIC their first Australian signing. San Francisco’s Zip Records snapped up the album shortly thereafter and Spanish and US power pop fans have fallen in love with GIGANTIC’s stylings. Next up, Japan will get its chance to hear Gigantaphonic Sounds when the album hits Japanese shores soon.
Renowned for their rockin’ live shows down under, this year the GIGANTIC live juggernaut made its debut in Europe and the USA (including a SXSW appearance) with audiences raving about the band and eagerly awaiting their return. And luckily the wait won’t be long. GIGANTIC can’t wait to get back on the road. Giddy up!
*****Stay tuned for Japan, Europe and North America Tour Dates *****
