yeah I listened to this last night with my wife, right out the gate it was explosive - a MUST listen fo sho.

Brittany opens with saying "Hello Austin we're going to murder you" or something to that effect. and she was right, they totally did.

I get a major CCR feel from their music.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Got a single GA ticket for 'bama Shakes in Burlington, VT on a Saturday night.  Let me know.  Might be one of their last "small" shows.

In this article, they mention My Morning Jacket as one of the bands they covered early on. Would love to know what song(s).

Looks like the 'Shakes will join Everest for KINK radio's Waterfront concert on Sunday, May 27 in Portland, OR.  Wrong coast for me, but hopefully someone here will go.  Lovin' AL Shakes, LOVE Everest, too!

That's a great article, thanks for posting. Can't wait to finally see 'em live in a few weeks. And then again a few weeks after that.

I clearly have no doubts they're going to blow me away.

See 'em if you can before they blow up. The show was amazing and the energy reminded me of seeing MMJ at the 40 Watt in 05. They were visibly moved hearing the crowd sing their songs along with them. Wow wow wow!

So, I'm very psyched for their show in VT on the 14th.  I have an extra ticket and, after posting it here and asking friends, to no avail, I've decided to take my oldest daughter, Katherine, to her first show.  Seems like a good choice.  She's 10, btw.

You're in for some good times, JY! Saw 'em last night in Birmingham and they really did kill it. The sound was perfect, bass was loud, and Brittney (Brittany?) could've been any number of the hallowed motown/soul voices from the past. She was so visibly into it.

I think it will be a great concert experience to share w/ your daughter too 

P.S. I know you're a poster guy, so check out the posters. they're cool and only 10 bucks this tour.

It will be a great show for her. We had such a good time Friday night. The hometown crowd was so pumped for them and they did not disappoint. I mentioned in another thread that I met a man there whose son does their lights. He proudly told me how they had grown up practicing in his garage. This band was one of the most exciting I've seen live in awhile - so much energy.

Got tix for the Brooklyn show and the Georgia Theater show in Athens.

I'll be at the GA theater too...anyone else gonna make this show?

Thanks for the endorsements, Easy and Fully!  I'm really looking forward to it and hope Katherine enjoys it, too.  With me for her Dad, she needs to get into live music!
