Today's guests are the members of the theatrical Brooklyn-based indie rock band Big Girl. The band joined me over the phone during their drive to SXSW to talk all things theater, self-actualization, and the profound effect adrenaline can have on alleviating pain while performing live. ✨ MORE ABOUT BIG GIRL ✨ Big Girl is a six-piece indie rock band from Brooklyn whose electrifying live performances often incorporate a full choir and elaborate choreography. Big Girl established themselves in 2023 with their debut album Big Girl vs. God, and are currently gearing up for the release of their upcoming EP DYE, out April 23. ✨ KEEP UP TO DATE WITH BIG GIRL ✨ Web: https://www.biggirlvsgod.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/big_girl_irl/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UiEChBZxExl8CjxmK254m Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/big-girl/1546101509 Bandcamp: https://biggirlband.bandcamp.com/ ✨ CONNECT WITH IZZY ✨ Blog: https://agrrrlstwosoundcents.com YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCv6SBgiYCpYbx9BOYNefkIg Instagram: instagram.com/agrrrlstwosoundcents/ Twitter: twitter.com/grrrlsoundcents | |||
