Anybody ever heard of a band called "The Heavy?"

Postby Trapper on Fri Feb 05, 2010 3:34 pm

I just caught a video of them on Letterman. This is some cool shit right here!

- Left-handed guitarist with a classic Telecaster
- Bass player with a Rickenbacker
- Drummer with a FAT, loose, vintage-sounding drum kit
- Three piece horn section
- Lead singer wears a Blues Brothers suit, sports a mohawk and an earring and the mofo can LAY IT DOWN.

Pardon me if I'm behind the curve again... it looks like they've been releasing ablums for many years now. But.... I love it!

Yeah, well, Dave's an über-douche, I don't pay any attention to him. Whoever books his talent sure got it right this time, tho.

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Now that is the reason my Rick's coming out of retirement!

Gotta admit, that bass player reminded me a good bit of our own Mr. Ross (albeit less funky and he's playing the bass the wrong way 'round!).

:headbang:

One big regret I have is that I never got to hear Matt play his Rick live.....

:(

Good band! Heard that song on a Hyundai commercial during the Who Dat Bowl.
Sounds like Englands answer to Black Joe Lewis, allthough they may have come first.
Thanks for posting!
