[DID NOT ATTEND: December 11, 2025] The Heavy Heavy / Laney Jones and the Spirits
When I first heard The Heavy Heavy, I was annoyed because they are not heavy at all. They are very light and breezy–a real California sound. However, I’ve heard a few songs and I really like Go Down River.
The Heavy Heavy are a duo from Brighton, based in London with the Guardian saying they have that “lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling.”
I’m not sure I’d say thrilling, but they are enjoyable. I’m not sure if I wanted to see them live, but I wound up having surgery the day before this show, so that wasn’t going to happen, regardless.
Laney Jones and the Spirits are the project of Laney Jones, who is from Maryland. I listened to three songs, one was a banjo infused folk song with a major twang, the second song was a slackery garage rock song with noisy guitars, the third was a mellow song with her singing in her slackery way. So I guess she’s mostly a garage rock band.
Either way I wasn’t able to go to the show.
