Yes Giantess are hitting the road
Every year young, hopeful recent high school grads enroll in music school with the hopes & dreams of becoming professional musicians, but how many can boast remixes for the likes of Passion Pit, Asher Roth, & multiple XL Recordings artists before even getting their diploma? And how many get to celebrate going on tour with the likes of Little Boots (dates below) at their graduation party? Yes Giantess, that’s who! (note: Chase took 10 classes this summer semester to graduate Berklee College of Music before the tour).
Birthed & the nexus of 2008 & 2009, Yes Giantess was never meant to last more than a few weeks. Members of the band previously played in former incarnations of Passion Pit, the Death Set & so many more, & what was intended to be one off party music for them to play with friends suddenly found an online audience.
Based out of Boston the four Berklee students were suddenly being asked to play shows across the Atlantic & as they saw their tracks light up the blogosphere & pack dancefloors, high profile pop producers began offering the unsigned band their services. The band have just finished recording tracks with the likes of Richard X (Kelis), Hannah Robinson (Ladyhawke) and Charlie Hugall (Florence and the Machine), and are about to enter the studio with more heavy-hitting producers.
