Since 2021, Milwaukee-area natives Tony Goff and Joe Hite have quietly been crafting and releasing original music as the power-pop duo, Slightly Gigantic. While the name may be new to some listeners, the chemistry between Goff and Hite has been decades in the making.

The two are perhaps best known regionally for the larger-than-life alter-ego characters they portrayed while fronting the wildly successful funk tribute band, The Boogie Men, through 2012. But their musical partnership began much earlier – at age 18 – when Joe arrived at Tony’s parents’ home for rehearsal and was immediately greeted by Tony’s father shouting, “Who the hell owns the green piece-of-garbage car leaking oil all over my driveway?” Fortunately, that relationship eventually healed, and Joe quickly became part of the family.
