<b>Bonnaroo</b> and <b>Lollapalooza</b> festivals, continue to ride the success of their debut full-length album,
<b><i>Cabaret. </i></b>The band, who <i>PasteMagazine.com</i> boasts as one of, “12 Tennessee Bands You Should Listen to Now,” has performed with The Black Keys, Matisyahu, Dirty Heads, Dr. John, Galactic, Tea Leaf Green and more.
<b><i>Cabaret </i></b>– produced by guitarist Spencer Thomson, guest-produced by Hank Sullivant and mixed by GRAMMY award-winning sound engineer Vance Powell (The Raconteurs) – weaves the magnetic energy of the unsigned quintet’s live rock show into a rousing
studio sound that <i>Relix</i> describes as, “…a dreamy, highly-polished effort with electro beats, banjos, big hooks…the band successfully bridges the gap between jam and indie.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
