What the hell is Bigloo?
Bigloo is a rock band comprised of these four members:
Justin Smith ~ Guitar/Lead Vocals
Jason Welch ~ Bass
Paul Davis ~ Drums/Vocals
Dee Kinnett ~ Guitar/Vocals

Have they ever done anything I should know about?
Originally formed in 1996 in the north Texas town of Wichita Falls (mostly known for tornadoes and homophobic preachers), the band survived several lineup changes and began playing regionally throughout north and west Texas developing a loyal following everywhere they stopped. “Good Dog’s Green Earth,” the debut CD from Bigloo released in 1998 (which has sold over 2,300 copies to date), showcased the songwriting talents of the band and its honest, straight-ahead, blues-based sound, earning them even more credibility. In 1999 and 2000 the band was honored to open for such acts as Ian Moore, Vallejo, Steppenwolf, The Scabs (featuring Bob Schneider) and playing venues such as the legendary Antone’s in Austin, Club Dada, The Curtain Club and Trees in Dallas. Realizing that it was time to try and make an impact in a major music market, Kinnett, Smith and Welch joined Davis (a long time Denton resident) in the Dallas metroplex area in late 1999 and early 2000 to start pursuing long term goals.

What’s next?
Though the guys are proud of “Good Dog’s Green Earth,” the band’s sound has changed over the last few years. With the addition of Paul Davis on drums in 1999, after what had previously been a revolving door at that position, the guys have finally become a complete unit. As opposed to the jam-friendly, bluesy, roots driven style of the first CD, you can expect to hear a more mature, song oriented sound with plenty of melody and a pop sensibility when the follow-up is released sometime in the spring/early summer of 2002. In the meantime get out and see the guys live! Check out the gig listings on the home page.


UPDATE


Plans to enter the studio this summer to finish the bigloo follow up CD were moved back to the Fall with the marriage of Paul (see Pauls personal bio), but the wait should be well worth it. A well respected and traveled journeyman musician / producer has tentatively agreed to produce a five-song demo, which will be shopped to record labels. As things progress well fill everyone in on who, where and when.
