We chose the name Big Newton because we had an immense respect for Newtons' theory on gravity but also because it reflected our own musical big bang theory, trying to compress all the varied influences of the 4 members into a ball and see what rose from it.

We play live continuously in Ottawa at least and surrounding areas. We love it and the most special moment would have been our own real Superfan's birthday where she got up and sang after a few (to say the least) too many drinks. Just glorious heraing our music conveyed in such a fashion.

I think the internet has become an invaluable resource for any musician or band. I don't se the negative side of any of it.

Yes.

Formed in 1998 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and
Big Newton was originally a cover band. None of the members wanted to do original music, just play gigs. Well time came we didn't have enough material and soon we were playing our own tunes just to keep up. Who knew anybody would like 'em? That's when we decided to record them on our first album The Universe is Falling

We credit everyone from Stevie Wonder to the Clash to Iron Maiden

Thus far in my travels I'd have to say Amsterdam

Mostly Fender guitars and amps and a Hartke bass rig
