Show Review: Big Gigantic, Paper Diamond and K@Dog

Royal Oak Music Theatre held another stellar dubstep show Friday night. K@dog started the night with his downtempo set of electronic music sprinkled with some high energy moments that was a preview of the onslaught of sound to come.

Paper Diamond followed and having just played here a short few weeks ago, many of the crowd knew what to expect as they piled towards the main stage area.While Paper Diamond's set up was a sparse laptop and his iPad, he made the most of it playing tracks from his latest ep, Levitate and adding in his hip hop and dance remixes.

Big Gigantic, the headliner of the night, took the stage with the duo playing in large cylinder columns housing them and their instruments. Unlike other dubstep artists, Big Gigantic bring something special to their sound with their main instruments being saxophone and drums. The sax and drums played an even larger part of their show with their thematic songs that build up and sustain themselves with jazz-inspired sections that kept the crowd dancing the entire night.

Lastly, I cannot blog about a dubstep show without including about the spectacularly dressed and energetic crowd. The crowd for this night was what might be best described as "intergalactic hippie dress" with shiny clothes with a mock rasta-touch. Here's a slideshow my entire set of pics from the show.
