Little Giantess was kept hidden in a secret music lab called Neon Gold, and fed a steady diet of John Hughes movies, Whitney Houston, Kajagoogoo and bits of Bowie, and through this miraculous concoction of eighties magic, Giantess morphed into a foursome of strapping young lads with a penchant for pop music.
Fast forward - 2010 and Giantess is now YES Giantess - clearly because the response to their dance floor driven jamz was an emphatic "YES" - and they are rapidly tearing up D-Floors across the country with their supersonic synths and infectious hooks.
Tuff N Stuff, the standout track off their 2009 EP You Were Young (produced by Passion Pit's Ayad Al-Adhamy), is grade A electro and it's catchy chorus is impossible to dislike. My low-fi loving friend over at Gnarly Sauce Music even admitted to feeling bubbly and filled with neon love after listening to Tuff N Stuff!
I recently caught Yes Giantess live at Santos Party House and they were AWE-SOMEEEE! Singer/keyboardist Jan Rosenfeld was all smiles as he sang and bopped around the stage with the same energy as Duckie from Pretty in Pink.
Surprisingly, the place was pretty empty, which is why I feel the need to share the awesomeness that is Yes Giantess, because in my world, they are totally radical and most excellent!
