The Heavy Pets (THP) are an American band whose contagious vibe blends rhythm and blues, jazz-funk and reggae fusion with homegrown rock and roll. Called “a living, breathing, force of nature” by Dan Sweeney of Relix magazine, THP are known for powerhouse performances spiked with hot electric licks and multi-climactic instrumental solos, as well as for their masterful acoustic acumen. In 2007, the group became an instant Sirius radio sensation with the release of their acclaimed double-disc debut album, Whale, driven by hit tracks “Operation of Flight” and “Sleep.” Major festival darlings, THP have taken the stage at Bonnaroo, moe.down, Langerado, New Orleans Backbeat Jazzfest, and their namesake PetZoo, a two-day, multi-band festival that draws hordes of Pets devotees to Bucks County, PA, to feast on the headliners’ live alchemy.

Anyone seen The Heavy Pets or Toubab Krewe before?

Are you going to try and have dinner at El Norteno’s or Las Margaritas?

I don’t think there are any fuck ups in the mix, but if there are, you can see the type of distractions we were having:

Free shots of Jameson all night. I’m not sure why we weren’t informed about this by Common Grounds, but it definitely made the night a lot blurrier.

Panic Bomber brought the party hard and had everyone banging on all the walls. I was unsure if we were experiencing mild tremors or if the floor was just shaking from all the dancing. The horn section literally blew people away as the set raged on leaving fans screaming for more in between songs. Panic Bomber even threw in a Brittney Spear’s Toxic cover that had all the ladies in the club rushing the stage for an impromptu dance show. We caught some of the madness on video, check it out below.

All in all the evening turned into quite the success as smiling strangers danced to the very last kick drum. I would like to thank Common Grounds for hosting such a sweet party and Panic Bomber for putting on a ridiculously easy to love set. Check out all of the photos here

After spending many moons locked up on the Internet, The Gainesvillain’s are taking it to the streets and bringing Gainesville the best in live events! There is no other way we would like to premiere our events than with Miami’s own Panic Bomber. Panic Bomber is a new breed of dance floor innovator who is quickly attracting worldwide praise and has played sold out shows in London, Glasglow, and Miami. The show will be taking place at Gainesville’s finest live music venue also known as Common Grounds. Find out more information on the Facebook Event

This will be the most fun you will ever have on a Saturday Night! Come prepared to be blown away by Panic Bomber and his unique sound and style featuring live vocals, keyboards, and horns. Call your friends, bros, professors and those random hook-ups from freshmen year! The Gainesvillains are bringing you the freshest, check out this live video from The Vagabond down in Miami.

I was able to check these guys down at backbooth a couple months back and was blown away with how progressive there sound is.

The cover is $3 and they are offering you all the 1$ PBR you can stomach from 9pm-11pm.

Its a Tuesday night and if you aren’t already planning on attending ZTA Line Dance, its probably the most efficient use of your time.
