Turtle Giant

Formed in Brazil in 2009, Turtle Giant has been laying the groundwork for what has become a multi-national, multi-dimensional musical escapade. Consisting of the Ritchie brothers, Beto and Frederico as well as António Conceição, the band has grown in popularity over the last few years. With top-notch songwriting and polished instrumentals, Turtle Giant delivers hard-driving, melodic rock infused with modern psychedelia and classic rock undertones. After writing and recording their debut album in Brazil in 2010, the band made a cross-continental journey settling in Barcelona and playing gigs across Spain for the majority of 2011. Ambitious and hungry for new horizons, the band parted ways with its growing Spanish fan base in 2012 to traverse the globe yet again for Macau, China. Amidst extensive touring across Southeast Asia, the band performed at notable festivals including the Spring Scream Festival in Taiwan and the Music Matters Festival in Singapore in early 2012. With their follow-up EP 'All Hidden Places', they were invited to perform at KEXP’s CMJ Union live broadcast along with The Antlers, DIIV and Paul Banks. Highlights also include playing SXSW with KEXP Seattle last year, opening for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in Vietnam, as well as Unknown Mortal Orchestra in Hong Kong this year. http://www.turtlegiant.com http://instagram.com/turtlegiant http://soundcloud.com/turtlegiant
