Yep. At the sugar mill.

Word from a reliable source is that they are playing some secret shows at sxsw between Dallas and Nola. Otherwise, they'd be possibly be playing Baton Rouge.

Should she chunk it or is it worth a listen?


Ummmm, chuck it if you're crazy.

The Shakes are one of the best new things on the scene.

Also, listening to it for about 30 seconds should have answered this question.

That's a little misleading as far as the Bonnaroo comment..they played in a tent for that Fest and watched Radiohead afterwards right near a guy I know.

I love them, been listening to them since the spring and got to have a beer with Brittany after she opened for Jack at the Ryman.

But they're pretty new and not everyone has caught on quite yet.

Wait? Did someone use a Grammy nomination as a reason to check a band out? The Grammys are, and always have been, a joke. You should check out the Shakes DESPITE the Grammy nom.

Know what the difference between an Oscar and a Grammy? Winning an Oscar might actually help your career.

It's sad but I'd like them better if they were the any other state shakes.

There are next to zero examples of a CD I would get as a gift (A frickING GIFT) and chunk without listening.

Alabama Shakes is not one of those.

I really like the song where she says "you've got to roll with the tide and i'll take care of you"

But then I hate the roll with the tide part.

Their singer is great, but their songs are pretty average imo.

I disagree. Have you listened to anything other than the single?

I mean, it's blues-soul music... where else can they go?

but they are definitely a team of talented players
