Big LightBig Light is the next big thing to emerge from San Francisco's greater Potrero district since the overstuffed burrito. The band gets better with every show, and coming off a tour with Canadian-Virginian quartet Surprise Me Mr. Davis, the band is finally home, on stage and off. Big Light is a collective with a big sound, often 7 people on stage, kinda like if The Band were born today on the west coast. The hooks are catchy ("Hard Knocks") and the refrains come back strong ("Bonebreaker") and stay with you all day. As Dennis Cook wrote on JamBase, "Though a young band in many respects, there's also something endearingly yesteryear about them, a kind of respect for craft, hooks and musicianship more in line with the '60s or '70s but in service of a sound that's timeless, as touched by Pavement as it is The Beatles."
