About Me

heavy winged started in the fall of 2004 in brooklyn, new york. all of our music is improvised live to a busted 4 track, with a few exceptions. drummer jed moved across the country to portland, oregon in the summer of 2006 because he is an asshole. guitarist ryan now lives in vermont, where he works as a weed churner/cattle herder. bassist brady continues to live the new york dream of beer. still, the band continues to release music and record whenever they are all in the same town. there are lots of releases out, and many more to come.
