The night began with Jimmie’s Chicken Shack, and as Jimi Haha energetically welcomed everyone to the openers’ opener, the audience could feel an electric anticipation in the air. I wasn’t quite sure how the night would unfold at first, particularly as Jimi, who walked with a cane and had a noticeable limp, made his way onto the stage. However, all of my concerns quickly evaporated once he strapped on his guitar and confidently walked to the center stage. In that moment, it became clear that the band, alongside Jimi, was about to push into high gear. They delivered an exhilarating performance, showcasing their punk stoner vibe that beautifully complemented the alternative rock genre. Jimmie’s Chicken Shack was undoubtedly the perfect band to kick off this exciting night of music. Although their set felt standard and disappointingly brief for someone like me, with memorable tracks like “Do Right” and “High” included in the lineup, there was simply no way they could go wrong.
