Black Diamond Heavies April 24, 2008

The Black Diamond Heavies are a trio based out of East Nashville, Tennessee. The music sounds like three gorillas on crack. Most of the material is original music, although covers are sometimes thrown in as tribute to gods, generals, heroes, and vampires such as John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lou Reed and Tom Waits. The Heavies are a streamlined tour-ready outfit , and cannot be stopped. Don't even try . Since emerging into the San Francisco music scene in 2004, The Getdown has been building a large and loyal following. Their signature funk-rock sound and energetic live shows have helped establish the soulful five-piece as a power house among the best funk music acts in the Bay Area.
