YOUNG THE GIANT Concert Special Airs Tonight on AUDIENCE Network
By: BWW News Desk Aug. 26, 2016
Tune in to the AUDIENCE Network concert special "YOUNG THE GIANT" airing Friday, August 26, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT (DIRECTV Ch 239/U-verse Ch 1114). The indie-rock group stopped by Red Studios in Los Angeles for a concert and intimate interview with Ted Stryker.
"This was one of the first times we played 'SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN' live," says lead vocalist Sameer Gadhia. "It's always an ephemeral experience to skate on that line, knowing that you have to live in every moment to not mess up. It's kind of in line with the themes in the song; pushing within the limits of the human experience."

The wildly adventurous HOME OF THE STRANGE, YOUNG THE GIANT'sthird album, was produced by Alex Salibian (Elle King, Mikky Ekko) with 2016 GRAMMY-winning "Producer of the Year" Jeff Bhasker serving as the album's Executive Producer. "SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN," the lead single off HOME OF THE STRANGE, hit the Top 15 at Alternative radio. HOME OF THE STRANGE follows Mind Over Matter (2014), which was both a commercial and critical success. In addition to scoring a Top 10 debut on the Soundscan/Billboard 200 chart and Top 5 Alternative Radio hit with "It's About Time," the album received a raft of praise from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and The New York Times who not only raved about how "...the group gobbles up bits of several segments of rock history--prog-rock, boogie metal, Southern rock, soft rock, new wave, dance-rock, and more--and claims ownership of them," but also declared frontman Sameer Gadhia as "one of the great contemporary rock voices." YOUNG THE GIANT broke through with their 2010 self-titled debut album, which featured the RIAA gold-certified smashes, "My Body" and "Cough Syrup." In support of the new album, the group will begin a tour across North America launching on Saturday, August 27, with marquee stops at the world famous Radio City Music Hall in New York on Saturday, September 17, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on Friday, October 21, and Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on Friday, November 4 (see dates below).
