I’ve been wanting to see H.E.A.T. for ages, and catching up with them in Islington has definitely kicked the gig year off on a high.
On record I have always thought that there was too much cheesy synth in the back of their sound and rather softening it, but live they are a different beast - the synth was subdued, and the band came out of the blocks like a ferocious beast.
Current lineup is: Kenny Leckremo on vocals, Don Crash on drums, Jona Tee on keyboards, Dave Dalone on guitar and Jimmy Jay on bass.
Leckremo is the archetypal metal vocalist. Hair splaying out behind him as he hits notes that no human being should even attempt, holding the attention on stage and giving space to his bandmates to show their stuff too.
The set was explosive. They were on fire from the opening notes of ‘Disaster’, with Dave Dalone shooting out the riffs. Dan Crash and Jimmy Jay holding down the rhythm and melody and Kenny Leckremo an absolute force.
The set was almost all the classic H.E.A.T. numbers and the crowd – pretty well a sell-out – responded, singing along with Lockremo. The pressure hardly let up for the full set and at the end the audience left satisfied by a stunning show.
Earlier, we had sets from Art Nation and the welcome return of Chez Kane. Kane opened the evening with an excellent and well received set, her vocals as strong as ever. Very much a classic rock vocalist, she still has a great stage presence.
Art Nation had a truncated set but managed to show some real power and remarkable fluidity in their material.
