Lexington, KY will be exporting its two best producers of pop magic, The Apples In Stereo and Big Fresh, over the coming weeks.  Our loss is your gain!

Big Fresh – Strike Up The Band

The Apples In Stereo, already featuring John Ferguson from Big Fresh on keyboards, decided to bring along the entire Big Fresh ensemble for what will become the first-ever Big Fresh tour.  I’m super excited for the guys; I really can’t think of a better way for the band to get out there.

It’s about time!  Big Fresh has long been a favorite in Lexington.  I’m not quite sure when I first saw them, but I’m pretty sure it was about ten years ago.  Ten years and they’re just now doing a tour!

Big Fresh – Entertainment

Hopefully, as the song says, this will be your year, Big Fresh!

(By the way, “Strike Up The Band” is from their 2000 release “Yes Nice Please Thanks”.  I’m pretty sure it’s not available anymore, but perhaps they’ll have it at the show.  “Entertainment” is off of their 2008 album entitled “Big Fresh Forever”.  You can purchase it at iTunes, by visiting this stark website and hopefully at a merch booth near you.)

Just for fun, here’s Big Fresh performing Velvet Underground’s “Who Loves The Sun” as part of WRFL’s FreeKY Fest earlier this year…
