In addition to the already announced support acts forBIG GIGANTIC’s upcoming two-night “ROWDYTOWN III” shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre September 26 and 27, the Boulder-based duo of saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli and drummer Jeremy Salken have just announced that they’ll be accompanied by some very special guests.

“BIG GIGANTIC FAMILY!! The time of year has come where we celebrate good music, good people and good times at the most incredible venue in the world, RED ROCKS!! #Rowdytown has been one of the coolest things we’ve been able to put together as Big Gigantic and Jeremy and I can’t thank you guys enough for the massive support we’ve had for Rowdytown the last couple of years,” says Lalli. “The shows have been so big and your support has been so gigantic, we’ve expanded to 2 NIGHTS THIS YEAR!!! The coolest thing about playing 2 nights for you guys is that we really get to showcase what we can actually do as a band, as individual players as well as curating cool ideas and putting them together into something big. Really big! Not only will we be playing a unique set each night, we’ll be bringing out our favorite CO homies, The Motet, to join us throughout parts of each night. It’s gonna be a special first time BIG GIGANTC LIVE BAND experience.”
Set for Friday, September 26 andSaturday, September 27, “ROWDYTOWN III” will feature different support lineups for each night, offering fans an even bigger party this year with its expansion to two days. Supporting BIG GIGANTIC on Friday, September 26 will be Brooklyn-based electro-house trio Savoy, Canadian electronic music duo DVBBS, Kansas-based brother duo The Floozies and two tweener sets from producer/DJ Trippy Turtle; Saturday’s lineup will feature the newly reunited Toronto trio The New Deal, hip-hop duo Caked Up, Atlanta-based electronic producer HeRobust and another two tweener sets from Trippy Turtle.

Upon its debut in 2012, Rowdytown marked the first time an artist ever used projection mapping visuals on the famous rocks of Red Rocks. Last year’s installment used even bigger lighting rigs and twice the projection mapping. Ghost Pixel Visuals are back again for Rowdytown III to bring a one-of-a-kind experience to all those in attendance.

About BIG GIGANTIC:
Formed in 2008, saxophonist/producer Dominic Lalli (classically trained with a master’s degree in jazz from the Manhattan School of Music) and drummer Jeremy Salken interpret traditional DJ-based music with live instruments and have successfully created an innovative, distinct sound that’s all their own. Their transcendent live shows are a showcase of brilliant improvisation and a tightly-knit bond between Salken and Lalli, who breathlessly alternates between keys, sax and laptop, building a futuristic wall of sound that keeps the crowd on its feet. The duo leaves no genre off-limits as they channel everything from funk and dubstep to house and hip-hop. Their latest album, THE NIGHT IS YOUNG, was released in February 2014 as a free download on their website www.biggigantic.net, and has already logged over 70,000 downloads to date. The new album marks the fifth album for the duo following Fire It Up (2009), Wide Awake (2009), A Place Behind The Moon (2010) and 2012’s Nocturnal (which has received more than one million downloads to date). BIG GIGANTIC have spent the last few years on various sold-out headlining tours across the country and received rave reviews from their many festival appearances that have included Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Hangout, Austin City Limits, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest and Outside Lands among many others.
