Getting Heavy
Heavy Trash, the new project of Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray, will co-headline clubs for six weeks with Canadian country rockers The Sadies.
The tour runs from August 25 to October 8. The two bands will start in Bearsville, N.Y., head down into the deep South, and come back up the coast to wrap at Joe’s Pub in New York City. The itinerary includes three nights in a row in Montreal, with one show at Cafe Campus and two at the El Paso Saloon.
This isn’t the first time the two bands have collaborated: The groups toured together last year, with The Sadies serving as backup band for Spencer and Verta-Ray. Heavy Trash also appeared on The Sadies’ upcoming live album, The Sadies: In Concert Volume 1.
