Blue Giant is the new project of Kevin and Anita Robinson from Viva Voce. It also includes Seth Lorinzci from the Golden Bears and Evan Railton from the Swords Project. Blue Giant makes country-twanged rock ‘n’ roll, with a healthy dose of shitkickin’, and they’ve just announced their debut show. It’s taking place at the Wonder Ballroom on Friday, June 20th. The Shaky Hands and the Lackthereof are also playing, and you’ll get your very own copy of the Blue Giant EP; it’s included in the ticket price. So mark your calendars! This should be a good one.

Listen to Blue Giant at their MySpace page. All three songs are great. “Target Heart” reminds me a little of “Strangers” by the Kinks, which is a very good thing, and “Lonely Girl” has a home-cooked Loretta Lynn vibe.
