BIG A LITTLE A
 

Aa (say "Big A little a") has been honing it's unique, intensely stylized brand of DIY maximalism in the lofts, clubs, and parking lots of New York since 2002. Evolving constantly, the group has had at least four distinct lineups in as many years and have assimilated a staggering variety of genre-hopping, border-crossing influences in the process. Like an ADD-afflicted Boredoms or Aphex Twin re-imagined as a high school marching band, the group's hyper-hyphenate, polyrhythmic sound synthesizes elements of hardcore, ambient, pop, crunk, noise, psych, and dance, with stops in Brazil, West Africa, and Japan - all by way of Brooklyn's experimental music scene and filtered through the band's own distinct, largely self-taught aesthetic.

Aa's alternately atmospheric and frenetic live performances have become legendary in New York over the past for years, featuring multiple drummers and vocalists alongside a tangle of keyboards and electronics - and a starkly minimal yet hyperactive light show. Their debut full-length CD/DVD gAame was recorded from 2005-2006 and includes music videos for every song by a variety of animators and filmmakers (including Michael Bell-Smith of Professor Murder, 893/UMeanCompetitor, Christoph Steeger, and Ball Deep) as well as over half an hour of live footage (and a dance performance!) recorded between 2004 - 2006.
