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.

  • 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)
