  • Bio

    .... Gig began playing guitar at an early age. He was a founding member of the band "Peace Love and Guitars". The band was signed to Warner/Chappell, London and became the house band at the Marquee club in the summer of 1991. By the end of the year, PLG relocated to Seattle where they became a part of the local scene performing and sharing the stage with many of the "Grunge" era heroes as well as acts like Sarah McLachlan and the Wedding Present..... The band dissolved in 1994 and two years later, Gigi went on the road with I.R.S. performing artists DADA for four years. Gig performed on the band's fourth release "DADA" on MCA/ Universal. After a short spell touring with Leroy Bell and opening for Al Green, Gig has joined forces with producer Phillip Peterson and is currently recording new material for an upcoming release. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .......... ..............

    Hey gig mckellasaurus, we know you are constantly bombarded with wack, garbage comments telling you to check this or that out...Now it's our turn, except what we're promoting actually kicks major ass. If you check it and disagree feel free to leave us some hateful words and we won't delete them. Is that a deal or what? So please make your own day and come download our first full-length release "STFUYMCA" aka "Shove These Fossils Up Your Magnificent Creationist Ass" (offensive title?) available as a free download from our myspace page. The project features new full-length originals and remixes of songs by Aesop Rock, Wu-Tang, Tech N9ne, A Tribe Called Quest and many more with 100% home-made beats by yours truly. You can download it directly from our page or copy and paste the following link into a new window to download the project (if you just click on it myspace will tell you it's a phony link). http://usershare.net/jpzcjg3o6zkx

    Also, we know everybody and their granny is saying this, but Follow us on @ http://twitter.com/bossasaurus because we all know myspace is going the way of the Chumpasaur!

    What’s Crackin’ gig mckell ?
    We’re hitting back our myspace folks to let you know that your prayers have been answered. What prayers, you may ask. Well, today my friends, the good reptiles over at Bossasaurus (namely the ones writing this message) have teamed up with Murs (Living Legends, Def Jux, 9th Wonder, etc.) to, for the first time ever, offer you a taste of our music with an emcee over them. If you hate emcees and were feeling the tranquility of our un-defiled instrumental works than we sincerely apologize for our critical error in judgment. Otherwise come on over and check out:








    We hope you enjoy it. If you don't come thru and talk that sweet smack.
