OVERVIEW:
The band played around the Seattle area as CHILDZPLAY for a year or two, then decided to change the band's name and decided on the name BIG CITY.
BIG CITY would write and record a 13-song album titled "Make Your Mark" at Triad Studios with engineer Tom Hall, known for his work with (Queensryche and Heir Apparent. The project finished in late 1991/ early '92. Due to various issues at the time, BIG CITY would never release this project, and in 1992, BIG CITY would call it quits.
In mid-2024, the master tapes from the "First Toy" album, once thought to be lost, were discovered. They would be given to Tom Hall to restore and digitize. At this same time, Tom also had the master tapes from the BIG CITY record that had never been released. Since this material was never officially released, the band kept the name CHILDZPLAY and called the record "Big City." James Lancaster has remastered both records at Gemini Studios in Boise.
