I wish this band had called themselves The John Belushi Deathtrain is Coming and We Will Be Boarding Soon.
Nothing against The Heaves, though. From this live-basement sounding recording you can tell that they are living the American dream, rocking out, drinking beers and having fun. I would hire them to play a party, if I wanted to trash the place and cause mass chaos everywhere. And if I had a dwelling in which to hold a party. Right now I’m stationed in the public library bathroom, tapping into the free Wi-Fi on a laptop I stole from a guy at a bus station. Who knew?!
ARRGHGHGHG. Rock n roll.
Connect the dots…
Band name is “The Heaves”
Dude’s pic is:
He’s got a cigarette and beer in the pic, named his band after a particular style of vomiting, and has a song called “Giant Need”.
Music style = Punk rock.
Cool. This song is a typical punk rock song, and the group makes good on the genre’s well-cemented conventions.
At first their Myspace player was tripping out, with this weird syncopated skipping sound, and I was like whoa, this is a pretty trippy introduction. But it was just a computer glitch.
