Big Bada Boom – EP Release
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 6:30 pm
The boys from Big Bada Boom bring a first taste of their take on South Asian Hip Hop with their debut self-titled EP.

Big Bada Boom has developed a well earned reputation with their local fan base for throwing the tightest South Asian parties in Wellington which have a mixture of Bollywood, Bhangra, Asian Underground Hip Hop and Dancehall. With their first gig at The Cross Bar, in 2002, Big Bada Boom took off and the group has not looked back since. Aside from the instant lure of phat Bhangra tunes and grooving Bollywood favourites, Big Bada Boom has always set out to push the envelope when its comes to Indian dance music.

Their more recent gigs have seen the Big Bada Boom Soundsystem perform live support acts for international artists, such as Talvin Singh and also Wellington’s infamous Cuba Street Carnival earlier in February 2007.

Since August 2006 though, Big Bada Boom has been working on pushing those boundaries even further. With a growing live aspect to their gigs, the band saw this as an opportunity for them to develop their own take on South Asian music. The EP is a first taste of that unique South Asian experience in New Zealand.

Big Bada Boom’s EP is a narrative of the boys’ perspectives of culture, traditions, art, identity and politics. They weave a story that is both distinctly Asian and undeniably New Zealand.

The EP draws on a range of the bands influences from classical Hindustani through to modern hip hop, dancehall, and rock.
