We previously how we loved The Heavy’s Hurt & the Merciless (Counter, Bad Son Records) new 2016 record. We previously caught the band in 2010.
The English band is finally back in the U.S., touring in support of that new album.
Opening up for them will be England’s The Ramona Flowers … touring in support of their album Part Time Spies (Distiller Records). The record was co-produced alongside Friendly Fires and Passion Pit collaborator Chris Zane.
If you’re a fan of Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, you definitely know that they got their name from that comic book by Bryan Lee O’Malley. If you’re a Pixies fan, you might recall hearing the Frank Black song ‘I Heard Ramona Sing’ when Ramona Flowers (played by the supercute Mary Elizabeth Winstead) met Scott Pilgrim.
