The Heat Inc / Heroes Welcome

A rock concert at The Black Heart in London, headlined by The Heat Inc., with Heroes Welcome, Kay Elizabeth and Alex Laertis also on the bill, presented by Void Dweller Concerts.

The Heat Inc. describe themselves as London's loudest rock 'n'roll band. Their stated influences include The Rolling Stones, The Stooges, the Ramones, The Clash, Nick Cave, The Doors and the Pixies. Their sound centres on large, sing-along choruses and melodies that the band itself describes as haunting, with a rhythm section presented as central to the music.

Heroes Welcome, an original progressive rock indie band, provide the support set. Their line-up comprises vocalist Suzanne Cook, guitarists Tim Devereaux and Phil Barton, drummer Howard Tibble, who has also worked with Shakin Stevens and Hank Wangford, bassist Winston Blissett, whose credits include Massive Attack, and keyboardist Luca Uggias. Kay Elizabeth and Alex Laertis are also on the bill.

The Black Heart is a London venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners who follow those genres and want to hear a rock 'n'roll headline act alongside an indie-leaning support line-up.
