The Heavy Pets
 

The Heavy Pets are an American rock band whose contagious vibe blends rhythm
and blues, jazz-funk, nu-disco and reggae fusion with rock & roll. Called “a living,
breathing, force of nature” by Relix Magazine, the Pets are known for their soulful
song-craft and the powerhouse live performances of their infectious dance songs.
Riding high on their most recent studio effort Two Horses, featuring lo-fi
atmospheric rocker “Last babies” and SiriusXM JamON hit ”Keep Me Running,” look
out for The Heavy Pets as they continue to hit the road hard.

The group became an instant Sirius radio sensation in 2007 with the release of their
double-disc debut album, Whale, driven by hit tracks “Operation of Flight” and
“Sleep.” First embraced by the jam scene for their raw talent, their crossover sound
that is showcased on their self-titled album, also dubbed a “Top 10 Album of 2010”
by The Huffington Post, propelled them into the periphery of mainstream music.
Returning to their acoustic roots on Swim Out Past the Sun (2011), THP's guitar duo
set aside their electric axes for a more organic approach. The Heavy Pets followed
up those polished efforts by releasing the Everywhere Sessions: Volume 1 EP,
recorded live in the studio with accompanying videos of the three songs “Chew,”
“Help Me Help You” and “The Day the Sun Forgot to Rise.”

Major festival darlings, THP have taken the stage at Bonnaroo, Jam Cruise, High
Sierra, Gathering of the Vibes, All Good, Wakarusa, Mountain Jam, Langerado, Bear
Creek, Summer Camp, Catskill Chill, AURA and their namesake PetZoo.
