i had been holding onto this to play after game 122, but a) it was in the hopes that we'd be fighting for something, b) i just remembered i was doing so, and c) that's going to fall smack_dab in the middle of rhu_ru week. so, uh, yeah. close enough.

Loading... So it turns out her brother, Matt, was the one committed to being one of the worst live performers of all time. Good to know.

The Shakes are an unsigned band out of Alabama that have a lady singing Otis Redding tunes kind of vibe to them. This is their profile page on reverb nation. While they are not playing in the Twin Cities soon, nor do they have a record out for you to buy, I suggest keeping an eye on this group. This song is too good to go unnoticed.

(is this considered lo-fi?)
(5 votes, average: 7.40 out of 10)Loading... I have been spending some time on pitchfork lately. I have learned that it is very fashionable to sing in a punk rock/metal hybrid that sounds like a lo-fi Kings of Leon singer dude. You know, you gotta have that lo-fi for street cred. Because, duh, Kings of Leon totally sold out after their first record. Anyway, I'd prefer if the singer of this band had a shirt on.

This site rips off La Blogotheque so hard it is kind of embarrassing. Then again, maybe they are the Australian La Blogotheque.
