See Big Gigantic w/ Somasphere at the Bourbon Theatre December 4th

Rad Kadillac Productions in association with HighLucyNation are pleased to present BIG GIGANTIC w/ guests Somasphere, Thursday, December 3rd at the Bourbon Theatre.

(Please Note:  This will be the first of a run of shows that local live electronica group Somasphere will be playing with Big Gigantic.  The run passes through Lincoln, Lawrence, St. Louis and Fayetteville.  This is just the beginning of what could be a great year for Somasphere as they have been getting requests to play all over the country.)

Boulder's Big Gigantic has been killing the live electronic music scene as of late. Since the beginning of 2009, they went from playing a few club gigs around Colorado to opening numerous dates for STS9 (Omaha and Lawrence in October). They have played shows with Shpongle, EOTO, Disco Biscuits, Bonobo, Bassnectar, Pnuma Trio and countless others. They are scheduled to open for Disco Biscuits and STS9 during their New Years runs at the end of this year. They killed the festival circuit this past summer and now are headlining shows throughout the country. Next stop... the Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln December 3rd!

Record Review: 'Matador' by Arms and Sleepers

By Cory Kibler

Matador, the latest record from down-tempo, electronica-pop duo Arms and Sleepers, often plays like a soundtrack. The songs are anything but "in-your-face," the instrumentation itself is delicate, and the dynamics are subtle.  That's not to say it’s best utilized as background music for a film or a slide-show. 

Instead, because of the strong musical themes that are present throughout, Matador effortlessly creates a slide show in the mind of the listener.  I can easily imagine tender, emotional, and thoughtful cinematic scenes being played out as I listen to this record, and just as with a good book, the imagery comes quite easily.
