Bands to Watch: Big Bang

There is a band on the rise, and you should know about them!  The band is named Big Bang and they hail from South Korea.  This wildly popular boy band is ready to make their mark on North America with a short series of tour stops.  There will be six stops total, starting on Oct. 2 in Las Vegas, NV at Mandalay Bay and concluding Oct. 13 in Toronto, ON.

The Big Bang band got their start back in 2006 and they primarily consider themselves to be a hip hop group.  Big Bang had a big hit in Korea with their song, “Lies” which hit the top spot on their music charts for a record-breaking seven consecutive weeks.   They won “song of the year” for that song at the 2007 Mnet Korean  Music Festival. In 2011, the band won Best Worldwide Act at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.  Their subsequent album, “Alive” earned them the distinction of being the first Korean album to place on the Billboard 200.  Their first world tour was in 2013.
