The Heavy Announce First Ever North American Tour

Wednesday March 26, 2008

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 8th) and their signature wolf howl, but in a perfect American accent.

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:
