Little,Big is...
Dana Young (vocals)
and
Chuck Meyer (bass)
She first saw him on the corner of Metropolitan and Roebling walking to his audition. The year was 2007. She thought, “That’s my bassist.” At the same moment he was thinking, “That’s my singer.” Musical love at first sight. Dana’s wide range and pop sensibility meshed perfectly with Chuck’s hook-driven lead bass but not so much with the drummer. After two years they ditched him, stopped making music for the scene and started making music to dance to in your most awesome pajamas. Armed with Chuck’s drum loops and Dana’s illustrations, Little,Big materialized first as a name, then as its illustrated counterparts, and eventually as tattoos defining a new, more playful take on being in a rock band.
Their music is a product of their story – a sound stripped of pretention, full of confidence, energy and fun. It mixes sequenced drums and sparse keyboards with dirty bass and intuitive pop melodies that carry surreal but universal messages about relationships, narwhals, or both.
They are releasing their debut album, “Pins and Narwhals” as a comic book with digital download later this year.
