Heavy Load at Brentwood Theatre On Sunday 15 November 2009 Phoenix FM hosted HEAVY LOAD live at the Brentwood Theatre. Heavy Load are Brighton's answer to The Ramones. A punk outfit subject to the combustible flux of ego, ambition, fantasy, expectation and desire that fuels any emerging band. But they’re also uniquely, made up of musicians with and without learning disabilities. Over the last 10 years they have managed to survive through their combination of raucous energy, attitude and sheer volume but now they are about to hit the big time with a feature length documentary being made about their journey from social care to stardom, and back again, and their mission to demonstrate that disability rocks. There are few genres left in music that have yet to be defined. Heavy Load have unwittingly created a brand new one. The evening was compered by Phoenix FM presenter Mike Le-Surf and we showed the documentary before the band played their set which was a fantastic mix of original material and some very interesting cover versions, all enthusiastically received by the crowd. We'd like to thank the band and also thank Gigset for providing the sound on the day.             Written by Paul Golder
