Fleet Foxes Finally

My first exposure to Fleet Foxes was when they opened for The Clientele late in the Summer of 2006. I remember feeling lucky to have discovered a new act that was very obviously destined for great success. Since then, a good friend and I have made it a point to see as many of their local Seattle shows as possible. We’ve probably missed two chances to see them perform – and felt really, really bad about it, let me tell you. In the mean time, they’ve released two EPs, changed their name from The Fleet Foxes to just Fleet Foxes, and finally (after almost two years of impatient waiting) pushed their first full length release over the wall.

The bottom line here is that they’ve really got no business being as talented as they are for their age (average band member age is probably around 22 years), there is no shortage of good press for their freshman release, and they’re on some sort of European / US tour at present.

In order to keep things simple, I am providing this list of suggested actions ordered from least to most expensive:

The Heavy

My favorite band of the day.

The Heavy, a dirty sounding “Experimental/Blues/Funk” act from Bath, England are planning to release their debut album – Great Vengeance & Furious Fire – in November ‘07. For now there’s just the three songs on their MySpace page and this video.

They’re starting to get some radio play on KEXP, so I hope we see them tour on this side of the planet at some point.
