Big Gigantic at The Red Palace

Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken of Big Gigantic

Apparently my Friday morning fatigue and less-than-chipper-self at my desk was an indicator as to how my night went (Along with the large stamp still on my right hand and the venti peppermint mocha from Starbucks). My legs were a little sore from dancing a little too hard – I’m not that out of shape, I was just dancing that much.

The show itself kept a smile on my face from start to finish. I was incredibly impressed with the new catalog Dominic Lalli (production and saxophone) and Jeremy Salken (percussion) brought to DC as the last time I had seen them was this past July at a music festival.

Big Gigantic’s show is incredibly unique compared to other electronic acts. Lalli is on production and also plays the saxophone, while Salken is on drums. Big Gigantic has a distinct sound that keeps a crowd moving – and the girls staring. At this show, the duo showcased hard beats, synchronized with Lalli’s soulful saxophone tones, and threw in some dark, wompy vibes that had the crowd going wild and moving until the end of the show.

One great thing about this band is they feature their three albums for free on their website. Grab some of their music, and be prepared to have the sudden urge to break out into a dance party. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
