House of Blues - Tues Oct 27th

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: THE HEAVY KICKS

THE HEAVY KICKS are a raw, electric, and unapologetically blues and groove-driven Melbourne-based power trio, who push the boundaries of 60's & 70's blues rock. Fronted by guitarist and vocalist SHAUN KLINGER, with CHRIS ROURKE on bass and MARK DEGIORGIO on drums, the band delivers a sound that is equal parts soulful, gritty, and explosive.

The Heavy Kicks are known for high-energy performances that blur the lines between structured songwriting and free-flowing improvisation. Their sets weave together fiery original compositions with reimagined classics, showcasing a unique ability to channel the roots of the blues while fearlessly exploring progressive, psychedelic, and alternative soundscapes. Klinger’s reputation as a tone-shaping guitarist and gear-builder underpins the band’s sonic identity, while Rourke and Degiorgio lock in with thunderous precision, creating a rhythm section that’s both heavy and dynamic. Together, they craft music that is immersive, unpredictable, and unmistakably their own.

Whether lighting up intimate venues or commanding festival stages, The Heavy Kicks bring a raw intensity that connects instantly with audiences. With every show, they prove why they’re one of the most exciting live acts in Australia’s modern blues-rock scene. The trio make their return to the MBAS ‘House of Blues’ stage, after their popular debut performance last year.
