Based in London, I Am Giant is a new band comprising of two New Zealanders Shelton Woolright from Blindspott (drums) and Paul Matthews from Stylus and Tadpole (bass) and two Londoners Max O’Donnell (guitar) and Ed Martin (vocals).

In the short time they have been together, I Am Giant has made significant waves in New Zealand, UK and Asia. The very first song they wrote ‘City Limits’ has been on an A rotate on the Rock for over 2 months – peaking at No 3 in the Rock Airplay charts and No 1 in the Rock Top 30. The video has enjoyed A Rotates on C4 and Juice TV, and last week was added to Channel V in Asia.

In the UK they have been featured in countless Surf DVD’s including the new Quicksilver Kelly Slater documentary ‘Cloud 9’ and a brand new offering from Brazilian based surfing company Mormaii, plus Europes top extreme sports magazine White Lines.

The band have blazed a trail across Europe appearing at countless surf/skate festivals and events including Brixton’s Skate and BMX Jam, Quicksilver’s ‘Chromataphobia’ and the Quicksilver Pro Tour in Biarritz, France

Back in New Zealand, I Am Giant won the Rock/My Space competition to open the Rock Stage at Jim Beam Homegrown. And it made sense to do a few selective dates while back in NZ.
