Big Gorgeous

Imagine if GWAR and Tragedy had a baby, and that baby was a theater kid that did mountains of cocaine while listening to Weird Al, and Ween, and you’ll begin to grasp the wonderful insanity that is Big Gorgeous. The San Francisco-based trio consisting of Young Potatoe, Shirley Sugarfoot, and Big Gorgeous (photo: L to R), describe their music as dance / synth / theatrical metal / shit indie / perv pop. With a major theatrical aspect to their set, the trio seamlessly work in a litany of costume changes – I think it was basically one costume change per song for Shirley Sugarfoot, and Young Potatoe – and because they really know what they’re doing, the costume changes never mess with the flow of the show. Big Gorgeous are a blast for those of us who aren’t afraid to get a little dirty – or even a lot dirty – with our humor. One of the secrets of bands that blend music and comedy is that they only work when the music is actually good. Big Gorgeous are funny, and they know what they’re doing musically, which is why their live shows are so amazing.
