THE HEAVY ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
Including Playboy 'Rock the Rabbit' Events In SF, LA, Chicago And NY

The Heavy
After absolutely manhandling SXSW, with appearances at the Counter Records Showcase, the +1 House Party, and a still-buzzed-about Playboy Rock the Rabbit party, Noid outfit THE HEAVY are coming back to the states (and Canada) to plunder our major cities. This time, they come armed with an official U.S. release (Great Vengeance and Furious Fire, out April 8) and their signature wolf howl, but in a perfect American accent.

"They've delivered a bold, uncompromising, barnstorming debut without regard for current trends, fashions, or indie cred. You can dismiss lazy comparisons to Amy Winehouse and 'dirty soul.' The coolest thing about Great Vengeance and Furious Fire is it's too busy kicking your ass to think about just how cool it is." -PopMatters

Playboy is on board once again to help The Heavy and the U.S. make nice, with Rock the Rabbit events planned in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. There is a Bunny / Big Bad Wolf gag in here somewhere, but let's just get to the tour dates:

Anybody remember that British funk band that played at the Wicker Park fest in Chicago last summer before Prefuse 73? They sound like them.
