   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.

Man, you know I have only seen one football game in my whole life!  It was like circa 1984 Alabama vs Auburn.  That was enough for me.  Who played?  The Padres? 

Sorry, for missing you.  We rolled out of the bed super late.  Stayed up writing music.  We went down to La Jolla in the late afternoon, as not to waste the whole day.  Ai is in town one more day.  We are planning on heading down to Coronado tomorrow to stumble around.  If you're free, meet us down there.  And make sure to bring the brownies ;)

If you're free, hit me up and I'll send you Ai's cell phone number.

Hey bra,

I haven't heard back from Mark yet.  I know he lives on Cuchara ln/blvd/rd.  I'll call you tomorrow as soon as I hear back from him.  I'll be out at 3 PM tomorrow at Bella's b'day at Inflatable World off of the 8 in Mission Valley.  You are invited to this as well.  I'd love to see you jumping on an inflatable dinosaur.  I'll take pictures and put them up on our Myspace page. 

Hey, invite your boys as well to Mark's tomorrow.

Send me your number through MS.  What's Spud up to?
