Giant Three by Giant Three

Sometimes a band doesn’t even call out songs: someone just starts playing and everyone else joins in at the right moment, without any discussion or fanfare. And the song goes a very different way every time it’s played.
That was the Giant Three.
We became the Giant Three in 2004 and recorded this music early in our existence as a band and as friends. It was done in a time before widespread digital distribution for independent musicians. We only released this album in a very small way at the time, mostly as a professional demo and something to have at shows. But we’ve always loved and believed in the music and are honored to present it here in a more official way. These studio sides are a mix of our live show spontaneity and some arrangements we made specially for the session.
Sales of this album go to support all of the members of the Giant Three.
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed playing this music!
