We're hitting the heavy conflict times where ACL books good bands all against each other. That means there are some tough decisions. Divine Fits or White Denim or Toro y Moi? Or these guys? Fortunately, we've seen them all before so we can decide based on the mood of the day.
We saw this band at SXSW last year and I enjoyed their set. It started out as typical neo-soul like a lot of other bands recreating the James Brown sound. Just at ACL alone we've got Charles Walker on Friday and Vintage Trouble on Saturday. However, these guys branch out more and throw some wrinkles in the standard format. I was especially pleased when they played this song: a cover of another Chicago-based band.
