SHOW: The Heavy Pets @ The Blockley, 5/28

POSTED: Tuesday, May 24, 2011, 1:00 PM

Fort Lauderdale's The Heavy Pets are playing at The Blockley on Saturday, with opening support from psychedelic fusionists iNFiNiEN. While they reap the benefits of favoritism with the jam-band crowd due to their solo chops, The Pets also earn a pass with critics for their lyrics and tightness/utility of their instrumental interludes. They're a rock band first and foremost, with penchants for reggae-blues and jazz-funk as well.

The Blockley, which opened two summers ago, has received more recognition as a gastro pub than an entertainment venue. But take a scope at their concert calendar. Nothing to sneeze at, huh?

Sat., May 28, 9 p.m., $8, The Blockley, 3801 Chestnut St., 215-222-1234, ticketfly.com.
