Big Idea recording live at Cork for new CD
By Denise M. Marshall
Having recently signed a record
deal with Cork Records, Big Idea
will be recording songs live for its
new compact disc tonight at the
Bottle & Cork in Dewey Beach.
Based in Virginia Beach, Big
Idea plays alternative rock music.
The band performs modern rock
cover songs by groups such as the
Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam
and R.E.M. In addition, Big Idea
plays obscure, older music by
artists such as David Bowie.
"We pull them out and do them
our own way," explained Chris
Leveille, lead vocalist for Big
Idea.
Big Idea also plays original
material.
"It's very appealing to all ages,"
Leveille said. "It's not too hard,
and it's not too easy."
Leveille, along with drummer
Gregg Brooks and guitarist Marc
Pagan, formed Big Idea two years
ago while in high school at New-
port News, Va. Raye Smith, the
group's bass player, later joined
the band.
While the original band mem-
bers are influenced by classic rock
bands, Smith is influenced by
R&B and funk music from the 60s
and early 70s.
Big Idea has toured in Mary-
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Tennessee, Alabama, North Car-
olina, South Carolina, Virginia
and Delaware. Locally, the group
has performed at Smithers, the
University of Delaware, the Stone
Balloon and the Bottle & Cork.
The group has already started
recording songs for the CD under
the Cork Records label. About 90
percent of the songs will be origi-
nals, Leveille said. Big Idea plans
to record five tracks live at the
Cork tonight (Friday, June 2).
In addition to Big Idea, Cork
Records has signed the Dan Kibler
Band to its record label. The two
bands join the ranks of Cork
Records' alumni Tisra Til and the
Underground Cartoons.
