Heavy Heads Christmas Special: Such Hawks, Such Hounds
-
Thu 18 December 2008 // 20:00
(Thu 18th / 8pm / £2)
For every music fan who says rock ’n’ roll ain’t what it used to be; for every pundit who concurs with Hunter S. Thompson’s assessment of the music business as “a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free;” there are as many who will say that the business of creating and releasing innovative and satisfying music is as healthy as ever - it’s just done on a smaller scale.
Such Hawks, Such Hounds is a testament to the vitality of contemporary rock music, illustrating that it’s as worthy of your ears as any of it’s ancestry. Such Hawks explores the music and musicians of the American hard rock
underground circa 1970-2007, charting the evolution of styles and their creative components and serving as a character study of the musicians themselves - artists on the fringes of both straight society and the hipster scene.
Featuring the irresistible force of the Heavy Heads DJs in the bar.
