Alabama Shakes stopped by the set of Austin City Limits to perform two of their new songs, "Don't Wanna Fight" and "Gemini," during a riveting set that will be aired early next month, but now you can get an early sneak peek at both songs being performed.
The blues rock luminaries will kick off the series' 41st season on Jan. 2, 2016, as part of a joint hour-long episode with Vintage Trouble, and although "Gemini" is a web-exclusive, the band's full six-song set will be aired in its entirety.
Both "Gemini" and 58th Grammy nominee for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, "Don't Wanna Fight," appear on the band's 2015 album, Sound & Color, which served as their second studio album.
The episode, which was filmed on Oct. 2, coincidentally fell on frontwoman Brittany Howard's birthday, so the band seemed particularly excited for their set, which was their second contribution to Austin City Limits. Their first performance came after their 2012 debut album Boys & Girls took the scene by storm.
After the Alabama Shakes/Vintage Trouble episode is aired, the season will trudge forward on the PBS network with a full episode reserved for Kendrick Lamar on Jan. 9, followed by another joint episode featuring Ryan Adams and Shakey Graves on Jan. 16, prior to Angelique Kidjo claiming her own episode the following week.
Alabama Shakes do not currently have any tour dates scheduled until early March 2016 where they will head to South America for a string of shows in support of the latest album before heading back to the states for Alabama's Hangout Festival. You can check out all of the band's currently scheduled tour dates via their official website.
