Alabama Shakes' episode of Austin City Limits aired on Saturday (Jan. 2) and it displayed a seasoned rock outfit delivering a soulful, bluesy set, which you can now watch in its entirety.
The PBS network had previously premiered clips of the band performing their songs "Don't Wanna Fight" and "Gemini" in preparation for the episode, which marked the beginning of the series' 41st season. The band shared a joint hour-long episode with Vintage Trouble.
Both "Gemini" and "Don't Wanna Fight" (which received Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance), appear on the band's 2015 album, Sound & Color.
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 occurred during the series' 38th season, shortly after their 2012 debut album Boys & Girls saw its release.
Austin City Limits will air its next episode featuring 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.
