Big Deal Release Debut Single

• 27th Sep 2010

Big Deal is Kacey Underwood and Alice Costelloe. They both sing, they both write and they both play guitar. In the summer of 2010 they got tired of plugging things in, wearing ear plugs and waiting around. Bored with making fun of each others band’s they decided to start one together, writing and recording in their bedrooms.

A handful of recordings, a smaller handful of gigs and a clutch of influential support later, the band are still in their infancy. But somewhere further along the line than most – in both terms of the quality in their songcraft and in terms of development.

Big Deal conjur up woozy, lo-fi folk, understated and discreet music for the early hours, both beautiful and fragile. With a First Sight piece in The Guardian coming after just their second show, it’s fair to say that there is something a little special going on here – the dual vocals combining to great effect across “Homework” and on their cover of arguably Big Star’s most enduring song, “13”.

New London label Records Records Records Records will release both tracks on limited 7” and the band will also appear on an exclusive compilation alongside the likes of Steven Adams, Wet Paint, Cheaters and Matt Tong from Bloc Party that accompanies Babak Ganjei’s first comic book release, Hilarious Consequences.
