American Aquarium is a big-hearted band that manages to make metaphors of hard-drinking and fast-living oddly touching while pouring all their energy into their shows. Imagine blending the Drive by Truckers with Bruce Springsteen, then throw in a little Ryan Adams and some Wilco and top the whole thing off with a bottle of Jameson. That little concoction would yield the unabashed rock and roll/country sound of American Aquarium.
American Aquarium is appearing at George’s Majestic Lounge on Thurs., Jan. 31, with opening act, Damn Arkansan.

Another excerpt from no depression:


quote:

No Depression writes:

"At a time when so many bands are busy di**ing around with art school interpretations of roots music, trying to reinvent the wheelbarrow and create an avant-garde Americana revolution, it's refreshing to hear American Aquarium throw a fastball right down the middle."

Their music didn't catch with me after the first couple albums. Burn.Flicker.Die has me hooked though. Incredible album. It also made me go back and listen to their others and I like them much more now. I gotta go see them too one day.

Burn flicker die is my favorite album of 2012. It's their best work IMO.

It was a really fun show. I only caught a couple of their songs last year when they opened for Lucero so this was my first full show. I'll def be checking them out again next time
