Now well established on the UK Festivall scene Subgiant are continuing to develop their unique brand of live electronica. Since breaking onto the festival circuit the three piece have enjoyed many high profile gigs including last years Glastonbury festival on the infamous West Dance Stage and headlining the Dance Stage at the Beautiful Days Festival, having been asked back after a storming set on their main stage the previous year. Other headline slot's at the Ragged Hedge Festival, Blissfields and The Vale Earth Fair have also been memorable gigs of 2007.

 

After booking the band for Bestival, Rob Da Bank of BBC Radio One recently desribed them as 'the live act to check, beats and bloops at their finest'. In an eFestival review of last years Glastonbury performance they said 'The vibe was perfect, nobody wanted it to end, these beats are infectious and the packed tent was mesmerised' the same organisation said of thier Larmertree Festival set 'By far the high point on Saturday were Subgiant...they were immense!'. It's not just festivals, Subgiant are doing well on the club circuit too including a set at the legendary Slinky for their sellout Halloween Ball, and regular gigs on the buy London club scene.

Subgiant have a unique lineup of Bass/Keyboards, Drums/Percussion & Turntables/Electronics - together the trio produce a tightly executed and powerfull sound.

“...they delivered a sound really unlike any other on the main stage this weekend. For those stood near the front of the stage their bodies were shaken by the pulsing bass that thundered back into the trees. A mixture of trance, rock, dub and bass left no one out, as they could not be ignored.”

"...gut-melting bass."
Steal Life

"...quality dub passages and thunderous beats burst from ambient soundscapes..." Vanity Project "...Well, they're good, that's what. The crowd seem to go wild, the sound produced on stage is faultless. Ambient dub with sub-bass to test your speakers, driven by breakbeats and catchy melodies..."
