Today is a certain unofficial holiday and it is being
celebrated tonight at Nietzsches for a special 4/20 show. Heavy Pets are
headlining with local bands Funktional Flow and Family FUNKtion and the Sitar
Jams supporting. This will be a night of jam bands with an eclectic influence
of psychedelic rock, jazz, funk, blues, and reggae. Heavy Pets came into the
spotlight with the release of their double disc debut album, Whale, in 2007. In
2010, they released a self titled album that The Huffington Post named as one of the top
ten albums of the year. Their next release due this spring will be a follow up
to their last album, Everywhere Sessions: Volume 1. These albums are stripped
down and raw to reflect their live feel. Heavy Pets can be found at numerous summer music festivals this upcoming season. Funktional Flow can be found almost every weekend to be
playing somewhere in Buffalo with a crowd of fans grooving to their funky
sound. One of the few bands to prominently feature a sitar, Family FUNKtion and
the Sitar Jams most recently played at Trimania. This trio of sitar, drums, and
bass will take the stage with a vague plan, but mostly rely on improv.
