Alabama Shakes will return on February 19th next year with their first UK gig since 2013.

The band play London’s Islington Assembly Hall that night to begin a year which should see them follow-up the excellent debut ‘Boys & Girls‘, which provided an immediate commercial fillip when it was released in April 2012.

“This whole second half of the record owes a lot more to their love of classic ‘70s rock; think Zeppelin’s ‘Physical Graffiti’ with a dash of ‘L.A. Woman’-era Doors,” our review concludes.

“Alabama Shakes seem to share in those bands’ deep, knowing passion for blues, well aware that blues is still alive today because it moves and changes to keep from going stale. ‘Boys and Girls’ is a record that musicians will envy and listeners will adore. If there’s a bad word to be said against this music, you’re not going to read it here. Listen to this. Listen to it all.”
