The Subgiant sound? Think deep as hell dub basslines topped with a crunchy canopy of live beats and breaks. Spice this with one of the UK finest scratch Djs and you have a unique live electronic sound. The show skips from dub breaks to psy trance and back again.
Subgiant have become popular on the live club and festival scene, filling that gap between Dj and traditional rock band. The line up reveals how its all put together. The bass player also plays a pile of keyboards and samplers, the drummers kit is like something from cyber space and the turntablist has a miriad of toys to play with. Together they produce a tightly executed and powerfull sound, if you think you can resist to dance, think again.
Formed in 2000 the band have toured the UK and played on the continent, but it is the UK festival scene where they have really made an impression. With appearances at Glastonbury, Bestival, Beautiful Days, Larmertree, Wychwood, Big Green Gathering, Endorse It, Bloom, Sunrise Celebration, Earthwise, Octopus Festival, Glade and many more...
The band have released two albums. 2004 saw the release of 'Advances in Twig Technology' which was followed in 2006 with 'Global Control'.
