My Morning Jacket To Host Nautical Themed Prom

My Morning jacket are set to play a lavish two-night prom in Athens, Georgia next month.

The proms go by an ‘Under the Sea’ theme when they are held at the 40 Watt Club in the city on March 6 and 7.

The band are urging anyone who turns up for the event to come dressed up in retro/futuristic under the sea attire and jokingly say fans won’t be admitted if they don’t dress up.

The post on their website reads: "For all of you who missed your prom back in 1956 or 1986 or 2006 for that matter, we will be hosting the 1st annual MMJ 2 night prom, March 6th and 7th, at the fabulous, prom-ready, 40 Watt Club in Athens!

“The first time we walked thru those hallowed 40 Watt doors we said to ourselves, 'this place looks perfect for a prom!' And now the dream will be a reality. The theme is a futuristic/retro under the sea vibe - costumes (tuxes, suits, robots, mermaid and lobster costumes, anything prom/ocean related) are not only encouraged - they are MANDATORY!!! NO ONE will be admitted without proper attire!**

“There will be cake, balloons, fishnets, classic cars, chaperones, spankings, and a whole lotta shakin goin on - 2007 style upin this bitch ya'll. Come prepared to dance the night away, and make up for all the proms you missed...
