TURTLE GIANT

With lengthy loops, sounds that feedback between Macau and Los Angeles, melodies lost in digital storms, Turtle Giant come to the sonic world as an old-sounding indie rock band with huge influences from the 60s rock scene, American folk, shoegaze and psychedelic rock. Presenting their latest album Many Mansions I, the trio takes the stage in 2016 for a single night of cosmic aspirations.

Formed in Brazil in 2009, Turtle Giant laid the groundwork for what has become a multi-national, multi-dimensional musical escapade. After writing and recording their debut album Feel to Believe in Brazil in 2010 the Ritchie brothers, Beto and Frederico, traveled to Barcelona and played gigs across Spain for the majority of 2011. Ambitious and hungry for new horizons, the band traversed the globe yet again in 2012, this time heading for Macau, where the trio was completed by António Conceição and they recorded their sophomore EP, All Hidden Places, in the historic acoustic of the Dom Pedro V Theater. Extensive touring followed across Southeast Asia — with festival appearances at Taiwan’s Spring Scream and Music Matters in Singapore and opening performances for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in Vietnam and Unknown Mortal Orchestra in Hong Kong — and in the USA, with highlights including a South by Southwest 2013 show broadcast live by KEXP Seattle. Last year, Turtle Giant revisited the sonic success of the Dom Pedro V Theater to record their recent full-length, Many Mansions I.
