After eight years, Seven states traversed, Six national tours, Five Wami nominations, Four manic music videos, Three serious injuries, Two
eclectic E.Ps and One acclaimed debut long player in last years “Lo-Fi Funeral”... Perth’s Heavy Weight Champ have retired.
Hugely influential in the creation of Perth’s now booming rock scene, Heavy Weight Champ’s part in the nation’s current embrace of all things
Western cannot be denied. Founders of a scene that has spawned the likes of Karnivool and Gyroscope, Heavy Weight Champ were one of the
first Western acts to drag the fledging national music infrastructure spotlight toward Perth, and they have been shipping W.A rock to the world
ever since.
