Vannucci steps out from behind the drum kit to front Big Talk which will release their debut album this July 19th via Epitaph Records.

And in anticipation of the record's release date, Big Talk will be playing some selected west coast live dates beginning July 20th in Las Vegas. It is a prospect that genuinely thrills Vannucci. "Everything I've written is more or less written with the live aspect in mind, he explains. "Maybe that's from being a member of live band. I'm thinking what would really make me smile if I saw a show?"
