Sky High With Big Gigantic
Big Gigantic will be on the road throughout September and October as the electronic duo makes its way to New Orleans to wrap its trek at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience Nov. 2. The “Sky High Tour” includes a hometown show at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver dubbed “Rowdytown II.”
Last year’s debut “Rowdytown” was the first time a band had ever used projection mapping visuals on the venue’s rocks. Now, saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken are promising a bigger lighting rig and more projection mapping. The Sept. 28 gig features support from Aventure Club, Carnage and Mania Focus.
Check out the “Rowdytown II” promo video with Big Gigantic’s remix of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ hit “Can’t Hold Us” below.
