Sounds Like3 small town boys that growed up walking beans and bailing hay, spent their younger days in the woodshed, carving out their own style of "one horse town Blues/Rock" which still continues to emanate from the epicenter of corn and soybeans - somewhere just in between Memphis and Chicago.

What is II Ton Heavy Thing? Blues-based music that is too heavy to be traditional Blues. Rock music that is “bluesier” than today’s radio friendly Rock. II Ton Heavy Thing’s sound is: “Blues/Rock that emanates from the epicenter of corn and soybeans somewhere in between Memphis and Chicago.” II Ton Heavy Thing’s original music has been featured Track of the Day & Track of the Week at Garageband www.garageband.com, and has reached the top 2 of the Blues/Rock category at the same. Their current song ranking places them in the top 1% of all music posted to Garageband.com. At Independent Artists Company www.iacmusic.com, they have held the 1 position in blues for a period of 3 months. Their tunes have been picked up by CowDog Kelly, Producer and Host of The Texas Blues Café – a weekly pod cast based out of Dallas/Fort Worth www.texasblues.podomatic.com. In addition, the band and their music have been featured at regional Illinois radio stations WEFT, WPCD, and eXtra 99.1. Why II Ton Heavy Thing? Freedom. II Ton Heavy Thing crosses musical boundaries. It crosses generations. It brings people from different backgrounds together at a single, common denominator – blues-based music.                               It is what it is.

Hey IITon, You guys sound great as usual, just saying wassup from Cali, we're just out here in the land of fake boobs and fake people playing dirty, nasty blues rock for beer and money, so 'it's all good' as the hipsters say.
