Giant Squid – Sacramento Quintet Relocate to Austin, TX – SXSW Scheduled
The End Records’ latest signing GIANT SQUID have relocated.
The native Sacramento, California quintet made the trek on Tuesday January 17th to their new home in Austin, Texas. Frustrated with the lack of live music venues and the insane housing costs of California’s capitol city, the band decided to relocate to the “live music capitol of the world” where gigging opportunities in town and in state will be plentiful.
Guitarist/singer Aaron Gregory is excited with the move and adds, “Touring either coast — as well as mid-West states — will be much easier from Austin’s central location.”
GIANT SQUID’s first gig in their new home town will be The End Record’ showcase at South by Southwest (SXSW), Austin’s legendary annual, weeklong and city-wide music festival, sharing the stage with label mates THE GATHERING (Holland), GREEN CARNATION (Norway) and UNEXPECT (Canada). More information on the showcase to come.
Following SXSW, all the bands embark on an East Coast tour together with THE GATHERING and UNEXPECT . Dates and venues to be announced.
The band recently re-recorded their 2002 independent release Metridium Field with Billy Anderson to serve as their debut for The End Records.

Giant Cock.
Sorry, I reverted to immaturity for a moment.
ooo, The Gathering. Giant Whatnow ?
If they are moving to Austin with the hope of lower housing costs, they are sadly mistaken.
