I didn't catch them earlier, but that's cool! I watched them on Austin City Limits recently and was blown away. The lead singer has a great voice. Have they ever done a Prince cover? | |

I think they covered Kiss. These earrings look specially made, someone here has this very picture as his/her avatar.
Obviously a serious fan, glad to see people pay homage in some way.

Glad to see Prince has mellowed and allowed NBC to use his face in their broadcasts without permission. We can all relax now and post photos of out homemade Prince-wear on Instagram and Youtube without fear of a DMCA takedown. Dancing Baby can shake his shit on Youtube without the PurplePartyPooper calling the cops and whatnot. | |

Wow.. they've got a new fan here. I love how she just throws herself into the songs. No holding back.Holy Funking Shit. The official audio of Gimme All Your Love is just ... off the charts good. THIS is what Plectrum Electrum should have sounded like. Get your headphones on with some volume

That's awesome. I'm flying out to NYC in a week or so to see them, and these performances have me even more excited. [Edited 3/1/15 20:31pm] "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

Surprised to hear so many here have never heard of Alabama Shakes before. Truly great band and awesome performance and very cool earrings The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

I just heard them this morning on 91X, I liked. | |

Saw them in 2012 when they opened for Jack White and I have been following them since.
Looking forward to seeing them next week @ the Beacon.
If you plan on getting the new album,check with your local record store - they have an exclusive 7" for indie stores if you pre order the album. BestBuy has a 2 tracks CD single ,that came out 3 weeks ago, which has a $2 off cupon,when you purchase the album at BestBuy and Target has an exclusive version with a live CD(3 live tracks).
I was wondering what was on the earings-thanks for pointing this out | |

I didn't care much for their first album, but this song totally won me over. Best song I've heard in some time.xenophobia7 said: Saw them in 2012 when they opened for Jack White and I have been following them since.

I caught the snl performance the other day and it blew me away. They sound better than prince. They are doing prince but better than prince. Why doesn't prince sound this good? Prince could have wrote those songs, performed those songs. They sound just like they could be prince songs. But he doesn't. He writes boring crap. This is what a guitar band should sound like. The woman on vocals was pretty damn solid on guitar too. Prince should wanna sound like alabamba shakes. This is why people say prince cant hang anymore. Prince is only as good as the band he surrounds himself with and gleens their ideas. He hasn't had a top player in decades. Technically yes but not creatively. Watching alabamba shakes makes me pissed at prince and how lazy and boring his ideas are. I saw a local group do a prince tribute a few months ago and it blew prince out of the water. Even singing. I just don't understand how these 3rd eye girls can practice 16 hours a day and still sound so boring and bad. I don't understand how someone as wealthy as prince hires the cheapest band possible. I wonder if prince would ever do a traveling wilburys type record with some actually talented people instead of his harem. Prince Kanye Kravitz and Rhianna and Sade ... maybe a supergroup band too like .. questlove, ndegeocello, stevie wonder, tom morrello, vernon reid .. BTW I thought D'angelo sucked balls too on snl. was expecting more with all the org hype. | |

Well, thanks for adding your super negative opinion to a relatively positive thread. I knew it was only a matter of time.
