Giant Anteater

The trio, Giant Anteater from Innsbruck, is known for its self-proclaimed “Death Blues” , “Body Paints” and “Vodka live Shows”. “....sweaty, painted bodies, and a heavy dose of “in your face” await you when you enter the room...”, (TimeLess magazine 2016, Bòrnham) Found in spring of 2015, the band played more than 100 shows in Austria, Italy and Germany. They gained an underground crowd, following their shows constantly. MUSIC Different influences and inspired by all sorts of music styles are the main reasons why the trio doesn’t follow any specific direction in the deep jungle of genres. Heavy guitars in combination with smooth progressive parts, a straight fuzzy bassline, aggressive drums, spacy synth- and sample parts and a characteristic blues influenced voice are the main features of the Giant Anteater Sound. MORE MUSIC In addition to the traditional Giant Anteater lineup, they started a new project focused on self-made acoustic music: “Giant Anteater Acoustic Sessions”. An acoustic show at the “Solsteinhaus”, 1805 meters above sea level was the reason to come up with more acoustic stuff. In august 2015 the band made a deal with one of the finest hotels in Innsbruck called “Grauer Bär”. Almost 2 years they filled the old luxury hotel with Giant Anteater sound regularly. In summer 2015 the members quit their fulltime jobs to follow the most important thing in their lives: Music. RECORDING In autumn they decided to record their first album “LAST DANCE” together with producer Georg Gabler and sound engineer Oliver Kamaryt in the “GAB music factory", vienna which will be released in October 2017. The band is releasing their upcoming single “ Evil Man” on their label “PANTA R&E records” on the 17th of March
