The last time I attended a Stools show was on February 14th, 2020 at Outer Limits Lounge. Somebody in the audience passed out after their first song and I left because it was stressing me out. People were freaking out, but turns out the guy just had low blood sugar or something – he was fine. That being said though, if you\u2019re gonna pass out at a show, it\u2019s probably gonna be at a Stools show. The Detroit-based garage rock revival band is known for their high-octane performances that feel like having a front row seat to a drag race. These invigorating shows are what drive people to see bands live in the first place, and are undoubtedly what fans have been missing the last fifteen months of shut downs. Luckily, The Stools – Will Lorenz, Charles Stahl and Krystian Quint –\u00a0 have just released their first 12\u201d Live At Outer Limits<\/em>, which brilliantly captures their rapturous performance and is almost <\/em>as good as the real thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The album was recorded on December 28th, 2019, and released digitally in May 2020; the vinyl came out a few days ago and has already sold out on their Bandcamp<\/a>, but you can still grab a copy via Big Neck Records<\/a>. The band seems genuinely surprised by this success. \u201cI am always surprised when I see so many orders come in, because I really don\u2019t know what to expect,\u201d says Lorenz. \u201cWithout playing shows all the time, it\u2019s easy to forget that people outside of our little bubble exist and buy records too! I hope some of the success is due to the snapshot in time aspect of it, a little more than we originally intended though since you can\u2019t see us play for now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
