    Default Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

    This is cool! There is still hope for rock'n roll!

    She looks so cool, slinging that flying V... and I love the way she sings.

    Not bad! And the song was OK too.

    I've seen Grace Several times live. She is the real deal. Hammond B3 and flying V. Of the thousands of shows I've seen, she EASILY exudes more sex appeal than anyone I've witnessed.

    Is that an open tuning I see on that V? Is that relative to her guitar playing talent?

    I did see her rip a solo at Austin City Limits Festival '08. It was not highly complex, but she can play a bit. Her main instrument the times I've seen her has been a Hammond B3, (80/20 split)

    Cool deal. She's certainly talented. I meant no disrespect by my comment.

    none inferred....worthwhile point. If your gonna front a band sporting a v, you open yourself to analysis. She's got a couple of good guitarists there, I think for the tunes they don't do keys for, it's easy for her to be a "performer" at the mic if she is not having to think too hard, and just belts it out.

    This chick is all about the 70's rock groove, jam band, dripping guitars, blasting amps. Studio stuff I've heard is all bubble gum pop, wouldn't get me to a show for anything. Fortunately I stumbled upon her at that ACL fest, and didn't know what just happened.

    for real. chic brings it.

    check out there Daytrotter session...they do a live in studio of Paris and of another tune "Watching You" that is even more devastating.

    Janis who??

    Saw Grace and her band opening for Gov't Mule at Kool Haus in Toronto a couple years back. Awesome energy and show. Her guitarist was amazing, too.

    I saw them with Mule also. Funny that they can be playing Austin City Limits Festival in '08, Touring with major acts like Mule, etc, and yet Rolling Stone is calling them one of the "best new bands of 2010"

    Seems Rolling Stone is a bit late to the party.

    Yeah, ain't that true. She's well on her way to being an overnght sensation,with about a half decade in the biz, and who knows what dues paid before that.

    Cool! I like it. And that trem on the tele is cool too.

    Nice job on the Neil Young cover too. Not every day you see Satriani doing a Neil Young cover. Her vocal there is a bit reminiscent of Susan Tedeschi.
