Possible Openers?

[marshmeli]

Amazon and I-tunes both have great samples top hear.  Stereogum as well.  think CCR mixed with Blind Faith mixed with the Boredoms.

Wait which band is like CCR w/ Blind Faith????

I am a huge Blind Faith fan so anything like them I need to hear it...

I just listened to 2 songs by Dead Confederate and 2 by Yeahsayer and I really didnt hear any BF (but that could just be me)

I think MMJ has reached that "Bruce Springsteen" point where they don't need an opening band. They should just play for four hours.

:P

[kywoman]

even though Wax Fang already toured with them, they are and will be the best openers for MMJ always! both bands fucking rock their asses off! Fang needs to get signed!

[whothrewthecake]

My vote goes to this chick named Meghan Hamiltin or somethin like that...

i second that emotion.

THE HELIO SEQUENCE

yes. I saw them open for kings of Leon and they were great. We also talked to them after the show and they're nice guys to boot!

YES YES YES!!

i think these guys are so well suited to play with mmj!

full disclosure:  have seen them 4 times since october and have listened to their new album at least once a day since it was released.

and they are nice guys!

[tomEisenbraun]

I'd go for some Guillemots?

[Coltrane]

Detroit Octane.....obviously

[MickeyReds]

Me ;)

[mjkoehler]

VHS Or Beta

[Angry Ewok]

The best opener for MMJ I ever saw would have to be Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
Wax Fang was second best, probably.
Stoll Vaughan was excellent, too, but he talked too fucking much.
Moses Mayfield rocked out, too.

I don't understand why people like the Whigs.  After watching a mind blowing set by the opener, Wax Fang, the Whigs didn't sound appealing at all.  I had to leave after the second song, which was too bad for the Whigs because I'm pretty sure my girlfriend and I were the last two non-band members there.

really??  I saw the Whigs open up twice for the Drive-By Truckers and they were awesome....I think they would be perfect for MMJ....or how about the Truckers...that would be a ridiculous ROCK SHOW.

[buaawwww]

I'll be just fine w/ the Black Keys sticking around for the entire tour...  ;D

Better yet... the reunited Blind Melon?

[Dorothy_Mantooth]

You're all going to be disappointed because I'm pretty sure it's the Jonas Brothers.

black keys would be badass.  im really looking into the possibility of going to that colorado show.

[MyLifeISought]

Kathleen Edwards on the Z tour was an INCREDIBLE opener.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Lou Reed.  ;)

[cfloyd3]

I've been thinking about this and I think Menomena would be a really good opening band for MMJ.  They do things that MMJ has toyed with (Dondante) and are a band a little under the radar that I think a lot of people would like.  They have some shows on archive.org for people whom are not introduced to them.  The Black Keys however would be fine as well.

Kathleen Edwards was a really good opener though that tour I must agree.

Howlin' Rain...  They're yummy but i caught the show in Atlanta a few weeks ago and was a lil' disappointed.  they only played 6 songs as the headliner.  like a 30 minute set.  I think the music is great but sounded a lil muddy live.  Maybe the guy, Ethan Miller , can't sustain the screamin' for much more than that.
