Biography

Big Girl, a New York project conceived by vocalist and guitarist Kaitlin Pelkey, is a fierce and captivating 6-piece rock n' roll band. Big Girl’s music is expansive and cathartic, combining indie-rock vulnerability with irreverent punk energy. Their harmonically adventurous songs are filled with delicious lyrics, and athletic guitar playing, driven by soaring vocals – sometimes a chorus of them. "The larger than life sextet, led by wild front-woman Kaitlin Pelkey, knows how to command a stage and quite frankly any room they occupy with their wonderfully electric and often times frenetic live sets.” (Full Time Aesthetic) Three singers head the stage with circus-like choreography, and vocals that oscillate between the grave tones of a preacher to the sass of a schoolgirl. Guitars tremble and wail while drums crackle and burst in improvised interludes before seamlessly checking into a groove. The band will sound like Deerhoof one moment, only to take a hairpin turn into the textures of Sleater-Kinney or the intimacy of Phoebe Bridgers. Band Photo by BMILLZ
