TAS Live Review: The Heavy and Mayer Hawthorne At Bowery Ballroom, October 17

British funk rockers The Heavy and Detroit's blue-eyed soulman Mayer Hawthorne and The Country might pay homage to forebears like Parliament-Funkadelic or Marvin Gaye, but manage to not get too mired in the past. Eleanor Kagan checked out both bands last Sunday, October 17, when they played Bowery Ballroom.

TAS In Session: The Heavy

Thanks to a Superbowl-debuting Kia commercial using one of their songs and David Letterman's jubilant response to their January performance on his show (Letterman actually requested an encore), explosive funk-rockers The Heavy are suddenly getting the Stateside attention they deserve. And the English quartet pretty much blew us away when they dropped by The Alternate Side to perform and chat with our own Alisa Ali.
