- Giant Sand is an American musical group from Tucson, Arizona, United States. Its most constant member is singer-songwriter Howe Gelb. The group started as Giant Sandworms in the late 1970s post-punk and paisley underground scenes. They later shortened their name and developed an idiosyncratic sound rooted in alternative country, but touching on a wide range of other styles and featuring Gelb's beatnik-influenced vocals and songwriting. Since about 2012, they have also performed as Giant Giant Sand when featuring a larger ensemble than their traditional four to six musicians. Members have included keyboardist Chris Cacavas (of Green on Red), bassist Paula Jean Brown (who was briefly a member of The Go-Go's and was married to Gelb at the time), Mark Walton (of The Dream Syndicate and Continental Drifters), drummer Tom Larkins (later to become a Jonathan Richman sideman), and Iain Shedden, drummer with Australian band The Saints. For a long while the band's rhythm section consisted of John Convertino and Joey Burns (of Calexico fame). In the early 2000s Howe Gelb reinvented the band again – this time with players from Denmark. Guest artists over the last three decades have included Victoria Williams, Neko Case, Juliana Hatfield, PJ Harvey, Vic Chesnutt, Steve Wynn, Vicki Peterson, Rainer Ptacek, M. Ward, Isobel Campbell, nearly all members of the band Poi Dog Pondering, and Indiosa Patsy Jean (Gelb and Brown's daughter). (en)

- Giant Sand is een Amerikaanse band uit Tucson, Arizona. De band is in 1985 gevormd rond singer-songwriter Howe Gelb; de overige bandleden wisselen veel. De naam is een verkorting van het origineel Giant Sandworms, een verwijzing naar de wezens in de sciencefiction-boekenreeks Dune. Giant Sand is sinds het verschijnen van het eerste album in 1985 nog altijd actief; in mei 2015 verscheen het album Heartbreak Pass. De bezetting van Giant Sand wisselt veel. Eerder maakten onder meer Joey Burns en John Convertino deel uit van de band. Zij zijn nu vooral bekend van Calexico. (nl)
- I Giant Sand (rinominatisi Giant Giant Sand solo per l'album Tucson del 2012) sono un gruppo musicale statunitense originario di Tucson, città dell'Arizona. Sono considerati antesignani del cosiddetto desert rock.Concittadini e coevi dei Thin White Rope, nel loro stile musicale sono presenti vari generi, dal rock alternativo, al country rock, al roots rock. I loro album sono spesso molto diversi tra loro. Il nome del gruppo si rifà ai vermi giganti presenti nel film Dune (in inglese Giant sandworms). (it)
