Sheavy
Sheavy is a Canadian band formed in 1993 in St. John's.
Formation and name change
Sheavy formed in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada in 1993, and originally performed under the name Green Machine. In 1994, the band discovered there was another band in the United States with the same name, so a decision was made to rename the band Sheavy. The band's repertoire originally consisted of a sampling of Kyuss covers and an assortment of originals that would eventually make their way onto the Reproduction E.P., Slaves To Fashion, and ultimately Blue Sky Mind. A three-song 7" vinyl record was recorded in early 1995 at Jolly Roger Studios in St. John's. The band regularly performed in and around St. John's for the first few years at small clubs and venues such as The Loft, Sam Shades; Junctions and the LSPU Hall.
Record deal
The band recorded and mixed their debut album Blue Sky Mind over a single weekend during the summer of 1995. Later that summer, the band's bass player Paul Gruchy amicably left the band to focus on completing his university studies. There were about 1000 copies of the album released early in 1996, at which time Keith Foley also stepped in to complete the Sheavy line-up as the band's bassist. Although the audio quality of Blue Sky Mind was low, the original master tapes later revealed a much-higher audio quality existed. On the strength and popularity of the recording, however, Rise Above Records in the U.K. signed the band to a three-album deal. The band now had more resources available and were better prepared for work on the second studio album.

What's Up Mr. Zero?
So many questions
Too many lies
Not enough answers
What a suprise
Facing the world like Destiny's Child
Who am I kidding?
I can't believe there's a God in the sky
Selling his dreams to the world
I can't believe that the sun in my eyes
Couldn't care less if I burned
Tell me your reasons
I'll tell you mine
I'm a believer
Pray at my shine
Selling ym soul one piece at a time
Yeah, it's beyond me
I can't believe there's a God in the sky
Selling his dreams to the world
I can't believe that the sun in my eyes
Couldn't care less if I burned
Oh Mr.Zero it's me
And yeah Mr.Zero can you see
If you're the light in my eyes
Why do you need a disguise?
So if you see me
Show me a sign
Too many questions
Not enough time
Holding my hand and leading me blind
Who are you kidding?
