The Heavy Pets are a traveling American Rock 'n' Roll band that are best known for their explosive live performances and deep catalog of original compositions. Based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, The Heavy Pets have spent the last two years touring nationally and recording their double disc debut album "Whale" which was released in May of 2007. Backed by this monster release the Pets have found a happy home on stages across the country including a growing number of large festival appearances ('08 SXSW Festival, '06, '07 & 08 Langerado Festival, '08 Wakarusa, '07 10KLF, '08 Green Apple Fest in NYC, '08 High Sierra, and, oh yeah, '08 Gathering of the Vibes). The album also features two tracks "Operation of Flight" and "Sleep" that have been getting heavy play on Sirius Satellite Radio.
