2005: Big City Orchestra

Big City Orchestra is a wild romp through sound and broadcast media that isn't afraid to kick commercialism where it counts while rubbing salt in the wounds of the RIAA. This band of self proclaimed “mutant folk” artists have been around since 1979 commenting on society in a variety of musical styles. At times their music is little more than dark ambient, built with ominous sounds and eerie atmospheres. But, there are times when Big City Orchestra overlays those tracks with samples that add vicious biting commentary. Revamping commercial moments of nostalgia, reworking The Beatles, and producing recordings of animal sounds is just a small tidbit of what Big City Orchestra has done to tweak the musical perspective of folks everywhere. Big City Orchestra should hold great appeal for just about anyone with a warped sense of humor and major distaste for today's commercial tactics and America's political state. From creeping ambient tracks to noise intermingled with amusing use of samples, Big City Orchestra's tongue in cheek humor have people gasping and giggling across the nations.
