The world's original virtual pop group. Guaranteed 100% discorporate since 1993. Made up of one part Matt Perry (guitars, bass, vocals, cryptic asides), one part Joe Perry (keyboards, vocals, bad guitar playing), and one part John White (drums, assorted other noises).Band/artist history
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.Have you performed in front of an audience?The web is currently our sole performance venue. For now. Stay tuned.

Enjoyed your "shanty brought back from the consumer paradise". Martha's Christmas strikes me as something David Byrne could have done. Twisted pop X-mas tune.
