A smatter of cranial matter, Spitting for carp ❤️🙏

Since 2009, Land of the Giants have been pulling crowds to tents to groove until they sweat with their foot-stomping beats and contagious enthusiasm.  A brass section that will  make you grin from ear to ear, a heavy toe-tapping bass line and Andy Quick’s sensuous, soaring vocals will make you wonder why you’ve never danced your socks off to The Giants before.

In 2015, the Plymouth based boys brought a brand new, funk-inspired EP to the table in the name of “Surrender”.  A collection of high energy summer sounds, with just a lick of calypso, that absolutely demand to be played at full volume out of your car stereo.

Last year saw The Giants tour the length and breadth of the UK, spreading their new sounds to venues and festivals the country over. From packed out stages at Glastonbury and Beautiful Days to rocking stages from Ireland to India - LOTG are well on their way to global domination.

Now, after six months of studio time, the Southwest band are hitting the country with a new lease of life and a brand new set ready to fill your ears with upbeat, feel-good sounds and your soul with cheery, uplifting vibes.

The six-piece collective scooped Best Band in the Southwest Music Awards and have been tipped by many as one of the best emerging live bands in the country. So put your hands up, surrender, and get those dancing shoes on!

The Electric Swing Circus is a 6-piece fusion of saucy 20′s swing and stomping electro beats. With an explosive sound that reverberates back through time, the ESC hotfoot their way through everything from breakbeat and house to reggae and dubstep, all with their own unique style of swing.

A full time, touring band on the international circuit, the ESC’s live set includes electric double bass, vintage samples, gypsy-jazz guitar, keys, drums, synths and electro beats. Fronted by a sassy female double-act, the ESC delivers a consistently dazzling show. Their debut, self-titled album is available now on Ragtime Records.

The ESC line-up features Laura Louise and Bridget Walsh (vocals), Chandra Walker (drums and keyboard), Tom Hyland (guitar), Rashad Gregory (synth, sampling and programming) and Patrick Wreford (bass & bass synth). 

The band first formed in June 2011, with their preview EP, Penniless Optimist, released in September 2011. Their eponymous debut album “Electric Swing Circus” was released in May 2013. New music is in the works for 2014!

Ladies and Gentlemen, hold onto your hats. The circus is coming to town!
