My Morning Jacket Debut at #5 on Billboard Chart


Circuital the latest offering from Kentucky's My Morning Jacket sold 55,000 copies, placed #5 on the Billboard Albums Chart and #1 at Indie Retail all n it's first week. The band is playing at 8pm on the "What" Stage at Bonnaroo marking their first main stage appearance at the festival even though they've been a staple their for some years (including a late night set in 2008 that lasted nearly four hours). Last night the band marked another first by playing Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (for a longest ever performance on the show to date at six minutes). The video for "You Wanna Freak Out" is above courtesy Mr. Fallon and NBC. Circuital is available now (obviously) and the band is scheduled to play Vancouver's Orpheum June 29th. I've seen MMJ at Sasquatch and the one off Pemberton Festival and they are truly epic live. Singer Jim James is also an avid beard farmer. Keep it going fellas.
