Tune in to the now sound of David Blue & the Heavy Sighs, out of Safety Harbor, Florida! Their music combines the easiest-to-play elements of 80s new wave, 90s alternative, and j-pop, plus lots of other stuff they listen to and claim as "influences" even though, really, does that sound like Patsy Cline to you? I mean, c'mon.
One really awesome thing about them is that they all share the same name, like they're a gang or something. Who else does that? David Blue plays the role of songwriter. He's the one with the list of wacky instruments on the album credits. Then there's Dave Dick, who supports the groove with lava-like bass lines, cynicism, and pot smoke. To quote him: "Hey, I just thought of an art movement, faggot." The 8-bit and Moog sounds that litter the songs spring from Lil' Davey Chill--maybe you know him from his work under the pseudonym "James Lame" on the NoDance label. Hey, I think I just heard a rim shot! That's right, let's not forget the drumming of Boston transplant Dave Altair. He holds the band record for highest ratio of girlfriends per decade. In the words of one 'zine author, "He's so gorgeous I figured he was gay." All the other Davids hate him, and mock his late-night talk-show-host body language, and iridescent shirts.
Keep checking back to this site while David Blue & the Heavy Sighs prepare themselves for the road. For now, they focus on grammar, punctuation, and avoidance of the use of insipid internet shorthand. They also pride themselves on their mastery of an arcance computer language called Q-BASIC, passed on to them by the mayor of Safety Harbor. (Pam). With this glistening tool, they forged the website you now read (LOL glistening tool). Already, their text box of 'band details' wins them industry attention: One e-mail begged to include the band on a tour of "local hotspots," and as soon as David number 4 (Drummer David) can find his social security number, and five hundred bucks, expect to see them wherever hot spots are.
