Well, it seems that sometime around when the continents of Africa and South America were a stone's throw apart, the more ambulatory elements of the pond's murky contents decided to hop over to the western shore of the new Atlantic Ocean, then only a bit wider than an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The sun shone darkly above the ancient world for another meaningless stretch of centuries…until one day, the dull and haggard members of the group Big Green rose to the surface of the puddle and crawled out onto dry land for the first time.The new world was full of dangers, and the 3 members of Big Green were sore amazed…particularly by the rather statuesque stands of deciduous angiosperm, about which the primordial Matt aptly remarked, "Hmmm…Big green hair. Bark suits." It was their towering moment.

The web is currently our sole performance venue. For now. Stay tuned.

Make what big?

Big Green was formed in 1987 by Matt and Joe Perry. We started working out in the Albany, NY area with some other singer/songwriter types we knew at the time, performing at local clubs in a couple of different configurations. We hooked up our drummer/brother-in-law John White the following year and did some demo recordings -- including one produced by Bob Acquaviva of Mere Mortals renown. Though we circulated some live cassettes at shows and got some limited college radio airplay, we never released anything commercially. In 1993, we got bored with the club slog, so we shucked off our mortal guise and became the virtual band we are today -- playing, writing, recording, but no public performances. At least for now. 2000 Years To Christmas (or 2KY2C) is our first commercial release. We're planning a follow-up for late 2000, early 2001.
