The Revivalists, good live?

Lead singer is a fricking shed.

They are good live. Lead has bad rap for being a tool

The band itself is solid. The lead singer is the douche to end all douches and ruins any goodwill the band provides. Net negative. Would not attend

Skip it. David Shaw needs to go away already.

Because he's terrible?

Honest question...why the David Shaw hate?

David Shaw once signed up for TD just to talk shite to all his haters on the Music Board

True story

I feel like he acts like he is Robert Plant but isn't quite able to back it up.

In 09 or so, I had an opportunity to interview the Revivalists for a magazine I worked for. Long story short, I passed up the interview assignment because I didnt really like the vibe of the band....largely because of the lead singer. Fast forward to now, and they are all over the jam circuit/festival scene, and, to some, are the new "it" band. Not for me. Now Shaw has a Sideshow Bob haircut to go along with a Skeletor face, fake funky Nola accent and flaming douche persona... I wouldn't walk across the street to watch them play for free. When Stef Scarmado began managing them, Jam On began shoving them down throats and promoting them all over the place, making sure they toured with Gov't Mule, etc. I look forward to the day of their inevitable breakup from the front man receiving too much attention over the other (more talented) members of the band.
