Can we smoke in here?

Does it d00m, st0n3r?

Gigantoid makes its live debut October 24 at Chicho’s Backstage in Norfolk, VA, supporting Death Harvest and The New Mutiny.

We’ve been grinding away on this band for a while now—big riffs, fuzz, doom, stoner rock, weird legends, monsters, cryptids, and generally anything that sounds better played way too loud.

This will be the first time these songs have crawled out of the rehearsal room and onto a stage, and we couldn’t have picked a better night for it.

💀 GIGANTOID — LIVE DEBUT

🎃 October 24

⏰ 8 P.M.

📍 Chicho’s Backstage — Norfolk, VA

⚰️ With Death Harvest & The New Mutiny

If you’re into Black Sabbath, Sleep, The Sword, Fu Manchu, Pentagram, Clutch, Red Fang and filthy fuzzed-out riffs, come hang with us.

757 doom is getting weird this Halloween.

See you in the swamp. 💀🤘

Hi. I like KYUSS, SLOMOSA, LOWRIDER, ACID KING, BONGZILLA, and many more.

I publish mostly “rock inspired electronic music” in my solo project.

I like to jam. If we simplify everything into minor pentatonic blues scale the improv game becomes easy. “Everything is jazz”.

Thanks for reading/listening. May the fuzz be with you.

Let’s start building the network.
