An Austin via Cincinnati band. Lead singer Erika Wennerstrom is the last original member and she writes all of the music. Her vocals are (not exaggerating) a mix of Janis Joplin and Robert Plant. They play soulful blues/folk/garage-tinged rock in the same realm as the Black Keys. In fact, they were originally discovered by the Black Keys and signed to Fat Possum Records.

I've seen them about a dozen times, including their poorly attended Bonnaroo debut in 2005. For all those wanting heavy guitar riffs and a great rhythm thump, check out this band's set. You won't be disappointed.

"Out At Sea" from new album The Mountain

"Grey" from Stairs and Elevators

Their new album, The Mountain, is really good.

They're a really, really solid band!

I am currently listening to NPR's podcast of their SXSW set. This band rages!! This is exactly why I love random Roo additions I know nothing about. I really hope I can catch them come June.
