The Heavy
by 2010 inspired the invent of the ‘Cool Kids Still Buy CDs’ music club. The premise is simple: purchase a new release (preferably by getting off your arse and walking into a CD store), listen listen listen, launch the sound to wide-eared small audience through review, and press play to share favourite tracks. The crew are enriched with new audio, creative talent, and a social gathering involving real banter about the stuff we love — MUSIC. The first club promised big things and the pace I am writing this speaks volumes of my excitement to share with you — The Heavy.
They are as rare as a gold nugget at Sovereign Hill post 1950. Out on Ninja Tune, celeb mid-90s label of Kid Koala and Funki Porcini fame, The Heavy are a soulful collaboration of musical artistry that projects vivid narrative and gets you groovin’ the dance floor. It’s the kind of music found on Tarantino films — wildly timeless and refreshingly now. British without the bull, The House That Dirt Built is a seductive listen, sitting high on my tour wishlist.

This song for me is inspirational in two ways:- the actual live performance and the song itself. The song had never been played before. The guys that were playing together hadn’t met before and had only known each other for two hours. They managed to create a musical vibe and a beautiful song that made the audience and the two performers interlock in this musical whirlwind.
