I have seen the Light...and it is Big!

A new wing of the ever growing White Thighs music collective has just spread its wings. Some of my good friends and band mates have released a brand spanking new 7 song EP on reapandsow records. With a couple reworked White Thighs west coast staples ("Heavy" and "Separation Anxiety"), a Nathan Moore cover ("Safe and Sorry") and some delicious new gems; the EP will have you humming their indie-rock melodies all day long. Although 4 guys in the band are among the dozen or so members of the bi-coastal cult outfit, the White Thighs, don't expect any cheeky hijinks here. Big Light is quite a departure from the White Thighs patented goofball motifs as Torphy explains in new verse of "Heavy" that "We lost our funny but we found our sound".


San Francisco's Big Light is the brainchild of Fred Torphy, Jamie Fordyce and Bradly Bifulco and with the addition of keyboardist Colin Hoops (Kanvus), bassist Steve Adams (ALO), multi-instrumentalist Dan Hurley (Two Out Rally) and percussionist Cochrane McMillan they are now a 7-ball wrecking crew. Check out their music here then go by their new EP and go see them live this summer (if you happen to live in California). They are about to head out on the road with Surprise Me Mr. Davis after 2 sets at the wonderful High Sierra Music Festy this weekend in Quincy, CA. In the famous words of Al Cerrone "You'll be glad you did!"
