Heavy Cream

Nashville’s Heavy Cream are opening tonight’s Hunx show at Mercury Lounge. The band have gone through a couple line-up changes but have come through the other side with their second album, Super Treatment, which is out May 8 on Infinty Cat. The record was produced by Ty Segall (who is a busy dude these days) who gives it a down-n-dirty vibe, plus some strange and amazing drum sounds. Check out “John Johnny” at the top of this post and we’ve got the artwork to Super Treatment below.

Natural Child

Heavy Cream’s stint with Hunx wraps up tomorrow (4/5) with a show at Vassar, and then fellow Nashvillians Natural Child take over opening duties just in time for Friday’s (4/6) show at Glasslands. Natural Child also play tonight (4/4) at Maxwell’s with Liquor Store, Black Wine and Ba Babes. Natural Child’s new LP, For the Love of the Game, will be out April 20 (yes, it’s intentional) on good time rock n’ roll label Burger Records. You can stream a track from it at the bottom of this post, get an eyefull of the album’s NSFW artwork, and see all upcoming Natural Child tour dates…
