    The Weeks are amazing. Cyle's voice reminds me of Art Alexakis back when he was young. I first saw them at Hangout festival and then again in Boston. They are cool guys as we hung out with them after their set. Just be prepared to buy them shots (they preferred Jack Daniels) and if you smoke (I don't but my friend does) be prepared to them bumming cigarettes. I really hope these guys make it as they are clearly putting in the work touring. These guys are worth seeing.

    Love these guys. I have seen them close to 10 times in Philly which is just about every time they've been here. They just announced a new album, "Easy" which is coming out in April. Give them a listen.

    Awesome!!!

    Last tour they headlined I got two setlists both signed. One was handwritten so that was cool!

    I've listened to them for 8 years now and have had a chance to meet them after every show too. Real down to earth guys. UelDee(Sam) is a musical genius. Love his guitar playing!

    New album and other goods can be purchased above!!!

    New album came out last week and is their best yet start to finish. Saw them twice in Philly on Friday which was the release date of the album - they did a stripped down set at a record store and then their show at Underground Arts, great time, great album. Check it out if you want something new.

    Nice! They played basically the same setlist in Philly the next day. I'll copy the setlists from both sets on here. Their stripped down set (top setlist on the bottom screen shot) was EXCELLENT, really enjoyed it. Did you get the vinyl? I got the autographed one from pledge music and it is pressed waaaay off center

    They did a jam during Mississippi rain both nights here that was great. I told them they need to start doing more of that.

    From the pledge I got a handwritten song(Slave) jacket, test press, signed album.

    @tempo_n_groove I actually think they played MS Rain in the same spot as your setlist, but I missed adding it. Bobby was really funny stripped down, someone shouted it out as a request and they tried it. I've seen them play a set in that record shop twice, it only holds 15 or so people so they were just chatting between songs about the new record and names of songs, etc.

    how are your albums? Like I said mine is so off centered that the guitars and keys wobble and its hard to listen to. I emailed their label and they said they haven't heard of other issues, which I find hard to believe as this most likely wasn't an enormous pressing. They are going to send me another so I hope it's better but not too confident.

    I only received my test press so far. Odd.

    Maybe the other things came today?

    I'll let u know.

    I heard Talk Like That from their new album on 94.3 The shark.  @josevolution and @branscop should be familiar with this radio station.

    I'm glad that they are finally getting some radio love!
