About this concert
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.

Big Gorgeous Biography

Dance/synth/theatrical metal/shit indie/perv pop from San Francisco, CA
BIG GORGEOUS is an energetic and over-the-top theatrical Perv-Pop band from the dark coal regions of Pennsylvania who now hail from San Francisco. They combine infectious synth dance grooves with catchy, straightforward punk power chords, trumpet accents, addictive choruses and colorful costumes changes. Though the lyrics may seem crude and, dare I say, vulgar at times, you won’t be able to stop singing along....ever.
In 2018, they toured the Midwest and East Coast US and also played Iceland Airwaves. They also had repeat tour runs of the Midwest and East Coast US in both the spring and fall of 2019 in addition to opening for !!! (CHK CHK CHK) in August 2019. They were in the middle of their "Perv Pop" tour in mid March 2020 to promote their first full length album "Perv Pop" which was released February 14th, 2020 when the rest of their dates were cancelled in light of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Undeterred and ready to rock as soon as public safety allowed, they once again hit the road and embarked on their "Re-Masked" tour starting in early August 2021. They're new single "Too Much Love" was released March 23rd, 2022, which was followed by the "Sensually Transimitted Disease" Tour starting March 30th 2022. They are soon going to embark on "The Yellow Snowcone Tour" starting September 29, 2022 and will be releasing their new single "Psychic Surgery" around the same time.
Big Gorgeous in the press:
"One of the most gleefully bizarre perfomances we have ever seen to date, and that includes all 7 years of festival productions, by the Big Gorgeous"

"I don't know what the hell you guys have, but you definitely have something. Keep doing what you're doing"
-Nic Offer
Lead Singer of !!! (Chk, Chk, Chk)
"What are you guys really expecting to do with this? I mean, this isn't going anywhere. Trust me, I know. I've been in a lot of successful Christian rock bands."
