   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.

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

***** 2009 UPDATE *****

The CD is here for your listening pleasure; available on our website, iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and the other usual suspects. Or you can buy & download individual songs. Then again, you can buy the CD off us in person cheaper at our shows, especially when we're drunk.

Thanks to everybody who continues to support the band. We really appreciate it, and appreciate you spreading the word to your friends about the album, too. Reviews, bits of radio play, interviews, etc. are already trickling iin, so keep your eyes & ears open. But the best thing to do is to come see us live (schedule below). A good time is guaranteed.*

A video for "I Wish That I Were Gay" is coming, a couple of new unreleased songs floating around (like "World's Fair, 1915") and some non San Diego tour dates are happening. As always, stay tuned. xxxooo, The Bigfellas.

* "Good time guarantee" is not enforceable in California.
