Alabama Shakes -The Studio at Webster Hall -Tuesday, April 11 -Better than: Their record. "Have you seen them live?" That's the first question people like to ask in regards to the Alabama Shakes.  No, I had not—not until last night. The response I'd get from people who seem to really pay attention to hype was a proverbial (or sometimes literal) headshake. "Buzz" makes people doubt music that they may actually like, instead annoyed by the chatter (online, more often than not) about some band that appeared out of thin air.
