Saw JJ Grey & Mofro last night for $5. They opened up the show for Raphael Saadiq. My God, what a night of music.

JJ Grey & Mofro were on fire and played a solid set, got the crowd dancing, cheering, raising glasses. JJ was talkative, animated, and funny... and he sure as shit brought his voice to show off.

Raphael Saadiq stole the show for me though. That guy is a really talented musician and so is everyone in his band. They're spot on and there first 4 songs of their set, they were aboslutely killing it. There was a such a fun feeling of connection between the bands and the crowd last night.

$5 well spent.

I just finished up the first season to an AMC show called Hell on Wheels and Common is in it. He's actually a pretty decent actor

I have tickets to the MMJ show, the M.Ward/Devotchka show and am planning on getting a ticket at the gate to Band of Horses. But now that I think about it, I should probably take the safe road and buy one in advance.

LukinFan

Oh yeah, for BoH, you never know. I'd buy in advance too

Workplay in Birmingham last night. My 15th show and I still can't believe that:

A. It's only 20 bucks, I feel like I'm stealing.
B. That it's possible these shows keep getting better.

They debuted a new song called "Somebody Else" along with a nice new guitar.
The song has a memphis soul feel to it.

very true. Did they talk about a possible new album coming out sometime soon?

The merch guy said a couple months but the band didn't mention it. Although they did play that one new track, which is phenomenal.

Found this on recoil magazine:

You mentioned writing songs, have you already started working on songs for your next studio album?

It’s just about done. We’re going to go into the studio next month to start recording, the beginning of September, end of August.

Doesn't sound we will be getting anything new this year. Maybe early 2013? Thanks for posting!

Had lunch with a friend yesterday who recently got back from a road trip with her brothers from New York to Washington state. She told me that somewhere along the way, some random ass state (forget which one it was, I just remember it was pretty random), they stopped in a bar and ended up drinking the night away with a band. I asked her what band and she told me it was JJ Grey & Mofro. Pretty damn cool!

What sucks is that they used to play a club in Tallahassee almost annually and that club closed down last year. I'm not sure where else they would play in Tallahassee. Might not be seeing Mofro any time soon :(
