Song of the Week: Hold On - Alabama Shakes




I LOVE THESE GUYS. Perfect music for this perfect weather we're suddenly having (hope you've been enjoying it, you know it's not gonna stick around long)

Saw some great comedy at The Camden Head in Islington last night. Really decent bill and Rich Fulcher (of Mighty Boosh fame) was the headline act and ha ha ha he was just brilliant. GET OUTTA HEREEE!!!

The whole thing was free, too. Well, kind of free. The promoter threw in the donation line towards the end and then waited by the doors with a bucket which was kind of awkward because I'd taken "free comedy night" at face value and had spent most of my money on wasabi nuts and cider; ended up doing that horrible thing where you stand in front of the person waiting, dig around in your pockets for a good few minutes and then come out with with 57p and some chewing gum.


Anyway, it was a really great night - next time you're strapped for cash and needing a good laugh (only on a Thursday, Saturday or Sunday night, mind) you know where to go. ;)

  1. 57p is 57p . . . nothing to be ashamed of - giving what you can give :-)

  2. I am so happy you posted this. I didn't know what the song was called (I could have guessed) and I had convinced myself that the Alabama Shakes were called the Alabama Kings (because I'm cool)...Itunes here I come! Love me a free comedy night, I learnt long ago to be prepared for the bucket at the door...57p is a lot better than nothing! xxxx

  3. SO GOOD. Seriously, pretty much all of your songs of the week have been perfect. xx ps, that's why I don't like cricket.

  4. hehe sounds like a good night although I've always found Rich Fulcher quite annoying, or maybe just on the Boosh I don't know.. x

  5. Oh, how I know these moments. Always embarrassing. And the sound fits the weather we currently have here in Germany pretty good as well. :) It's so nice and sunny. Finally! xxx

  6. I love this song. My boyfriend and I have tickets to see them play Birmingham...but it turns out we can't go :( I'm so angry about this!!

    Also, took me ages to get my head around the fact that the vocalist is a women....definitely don't think it sounds like it on the album/EP IMO!

  8. Sounds great and I like even more that it was free! I'd probably do the same thing as you though, I'd feel so awkward if I really enjoyed it and they asked for a donation at the end xx
