Big Something is a six-piece band from North Carolina that makes conventional rockmusic but with a strong emphasis on jamming. They have a solid rhythm section, including a deliciously funky bass, two guitars, a keyboard and a saxophone, and a whole lot of passion to improvise on the fly and keep the groove going. Their music is not monolithic. The songs range from pop pieces to conventional guitar-shredding rock monstering, but they are always melodically strong and rhythmically lively. Their studio recordings have become somewhat more structured over the years, and their sound, tighter, but the band continues to fully engage the material and bring a lot of ideas to the table, and spend time exploring them. The songs naturally tend to be longer than the usual 3 minute pop standard, but they have enough going on to keep the audience entertained end to end.
