Black Diamond Heavies, Ellis Ashbrook January 17, 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 . Endless Boogie is a rock collective from New York and this is their first concert at Tonic's.

Pulling from boundless energy and a vast array of musical styles, Courtesy Tier combines rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop and middle-eastern music into a refreshingly unique sound.
