   About The Bigfellas
San Diego Union-Tribune's 2006 BEST LOCAL BAND IN SAN DIEGO: see for yourself. We're certifiable, I mean certified.

and again ... San Diego Union-Tribune's 2007 BEST LOCAL BAND IN SAN DIEGO: here

San Diegos Bigfellas are a four-piece band of smartasses with original songs like 4:20, I Wish That I Were Gay, Adam & Eve & Ted & Alice among others. The bands sound is a mélange of The Police and Steely Dan yet with the oft-goofy approach of Barenaked Ladies (whom we know we can easily take in a barfight, give us one time and those Canadian hipsters are going down!).

Theyre aggressively eclectic in jumping genres slacker jamband, blues, faux-country, funk/jazz, cabaret, or Stones. In addition to inventing the smartass genre, theyve also single-handedly invented the one-song genre of Golf Rap with the song On The Green, hands-down the most foul-mouthed golf song of all time.

As for the band members themselves, theyre 30 somethings (ahem) with the maturity of 19 year olds. The band is made up of a Canadian, a black guy, an Irishman and an atheist. No thats not the start of an ethnic joke, thats just The Bigfellas.

WEBSITE: www.bigfellas.net ... there's way more about us over there, that's the place to be for Bigfellas stuff.

***** MAY UPDATE *****

So the recording is just about in the can. We're thinking that the CD is released sometime in June - as long as there aren't weird delays in mastering & pressing.
