Right, so you’ve resolved to roll your own cigarettes, drink cheap bourbon and date men that remind you of Tom Waits. Ladies (and gentlemen) the next step is to come see Black Diamond Heavies. A raw and dirty duo, Reverent James Leg and Van Campbell have created a culmination of garage rock, soul, and old time religion that might just make you say “you DAMN right!” Signed to Alive Records (Black Keys, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Soledad Brothers) the Heavies bring something different to organ blues, saloon vocals, and busted drums –and I don’t just mean badass facial hair. Turn up “Poor Brown Sugar” cause you’re going to get an urge…The urge to raise your glass (of cheap bourbon) and thank the South for rough-and-tumble, trucker looking, preacher sounding men that sure know how to put on a show.

Black Diamond Heavies play The Bug Jar, Wednesday, July 23rd.

Wear your boots.
