- Giant Drag is an American Indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band was founded in 2003 by Annie Hardy who continues to be the band's sole singer and songwriter.
Music
Giant Drag's sound has been described by several music publications as 'nü-grunge'. The band has also been compared to bands such as My Bloody Valentine, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, and Mazzy Star although the band does not completely agree with some of the comparisons and Hardy has shown herself to be especially confused by Breeders comparisons. It is suggested by Hardy and another journalist that most articles that have been written about Giant Drag are re-wordings of their press pack (which compared them to such bands).
Their song titles, which are known for their bluntness and black humor, include 'Kevin Is Gay,' 'My Dick Sux,' 'High Friends in Places,' and 'YFLMD' - an acronym for 'You Fuck Like My Dad'. Live performances were often notable for Hardy's monologues in-between songs while Calabrese set up his synthesizer, as well as hecklers in the audience asking Hardy to show her breasts to which Annie often said something back. During performances in 2006 the duo covered Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game.' Hardy jokingly introduced the song by telling a variation on the basic story that she wrote the song for Chris Isaak when she was 8, and that he stole it from her after a love affair, and that she saw him years later on MTV singing 'her' song 'rolling around in the sand with some hooker.' In the summer of 2007, this cover was used in the promos for Season 5 of the FX Networks TV show Nip/Tuck.
In 2007, Hardy posted a recording of Silver Bells on her blog from a recording session three years prior.
