Get Heavy at the Croc Tonight

Like everyone with half a brain, I will be avoiding Belltown this Halloween even more than regular weekends.  But might I interest you in braving the prematurely-dressed Sexy Falcon Heenes and Zombie Billy Mays tonight? I know, I know, but what if there existed a band to make it worth your while?

England's The Heavy combines classic funk with r&b and straight-up rock. They love rusty horns and hard-hitting drums and a bass groove, and from the sounds of it, they also have a thing for James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, and Isaac Hayes. Their debut Great Vengeance and Furious Fire got accolades up the wazoo in the British press, and with new release The House That Dirt Built (out earlier this month), they're hoping to explode on this side of the pond as well.  Check out the video for single "How You Like Me Now" above, and head to the Croc to see them tonight.

  • The Heavy plays the Croc Friday with openers Thee Emergency. $10 adv, $12 at the door, 21+.

hey...
Audrey, your anti Belltown rhetorical isnt welcme in this city of emerald green. Don't you know that a lot of peepz just like to pop there collars because of the cold? Kind of alike how you hopsters enjoy a lot of scarves - even in the summertime! And, what is so bad about hair gel on men? Maintenance of a perfect style takes dedication and a lot of Axe. So, for real, please leave your hate outside of the door of the croc. Otherwise, you'll have to be on the lookout for two shiny shirted guys who are not going to be pretty pleased. There are my bros. And for real, first they will try to talk to you, and then they will try again more insistantly, and then they will walk away to mock your american apparel. Do not tempt it!
