Big Digits have been rocking dive bars, basement parties and DIY shows for years now, and it seems Boston is finally catching on. We know their chain-mail masks are a little hard to explain, but when dudes go this balls-out crazy, rationalizations are buzzkills. It’s not just their on-stage antics, sweaty allure, and spitfire rapping that we dig, but their open-door policy to just about any idea that’ll get asses moving. They’ll open a show with two minutes of a cappella David Lee Roth, close with a juiced-up version of the Pixies’ “Gigantic,” and stuff the middle with sacks of dirty rap. You won’t find a group more eager to toss the kitchen sink into their Ableton playlist. May the beat never stop.
