Alabama Shakes to appear on 'Austin City Limits' and 'Saturday Night Live'

Can you say double booked? The Alabama Shakes will appear on "Saturday Night Live" and "Austin City Limits" Feb. 16.

The Grammy-nominated group and first-time "SNL" guests will join "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained" star Christoph Waltz when he hosts the live comedy sketch show.

An “Austin City Limits” episode featuring the Alabama Shakes will air the same day.

The Athens band, a hybrid of blues, rock, roots, American, soul and gospel, taped the live "City Limits" concert on March 13, 2012. The set list includes “Going to the Party,” “Hold On,” “Hang Loose,” “I Found You” and “Always Alright,” the song selected for the “Silver Linings Playbook” soundtrack.

Along with Alabama Shakes, the “Austin City Limits” episode, which will air on PBS, will include a performance by rock artist Gary Clark Jr.

Currently finishing a tour in Japan, band members Brittany Howard, Heath Fogg, Zac Cockrell, Steven Johnson and Ben Tanner will kick off a 12-city United States tour on March 1 with shows from Seattle to Jackson, Miss.
