kicking giant was Rachel Carns and Tae Won Yu, two musicians and skilled graphic designers who met at Cooper Union in New York City. Their first show was in the storefront window of a Brooklyn junk shop; Carns stood up and played just one drum, a floor tom. Kicking Giant played around NYC and the northeast with bands like Codeine, Uncle Wiggly, and fellow "love-rockers" Sleepyhead; Carns continued to expand her stand-up kit, building around the central upturned floor tom, anchor to Yu's whirling guitar and bedrock of their unique sound.
