Two Heavy

A loooong way back I saw a concert put together by Giant Step that featured a band called HEAVy. Vocoder-laden, 80’s synth funk done well is something I’m fond of, thus I became a fan. Thing is, I never had any of their albums and ended up almost forgetting about them. Then a recent raid of my friend Ant’s music collection left me with their entire discography. God bless file sharing. I also acquired about 4 gigs of other high quality material which will no doubt filter it’s way onto this site over the next few months. Funny thing happened though, when I was google-ing the band to find out info about them… I came across an entirely different band called The Heavy, who are actually pretty nice with it too. More in the late 60’s – early 70’s retro-vein, but equally funky, I quickly got my paws on their musical catalogue as well. I recognized their song “How You Like Me Now” from both a car commercial AND from the OG Dyke & The Blazers tune which they sample heavily from – not hating on either front. So here’s two heavy’s for you.
