Stubb & Flask caught up with UK rockers The Heavy last night at Playboy's "Rock the Rabbit" event at Le Royale in New York. We have been listening to the band's debut album "Great Vengeance and Furious Fire" for sometime and have actually been caught by another trader while grinding up against a coat rack to their soulful sexy vocals that are complimented by the band's White Stripe like rifts.
I took my pitched tent to the show last night in hopes of finding some relief to my indie rock induced blue balls. Unfortunately, The Heavy's live performance was marred by a crappy venue with awful sound. A cow has more knobs on its underside than the soundboard at Le Royale. And while many in the mostly "hanger-on" crowd devised ways to score with the one (underage) bunny present, this analyst dreamt of The Heavy performing at a proper venue in order to feel fulfilled.
Stubb & Flask have high, high hopes for The Heavy, but are not yet convinced on the marketability of this act. Maybe we will reevaluate them at their other New York performances tonight May 13 at Rehab or May 14 in Brooklyn at Union Pool. Check out some video clips we captured from last night's show.
