Bio
Youth was a war. Youth crushed me. All I could do was play music and goof off to cope. The Awkward Stage came to me in the silence that occurred during the third dunk of my head into the jr. high toilet. Don't get me wrong, I did my share of dunking too. Which is far more shameful to me. They are honest pop songs. They are pleasant and accessible yet manage to interest and surprise. You may not like every thing I will do, but I promise it will always come from the right place. Sincerely, Shane Nelken (The Awkward Stage) .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. -

Hey ! Hope everything's good. Looking forward to some new material. Ever considered an extended version of "The Sun Goes Down on Girlsville" ? For me, this song belongs in the same category as "No Aloha" by the Breeders; It's got greatness but is annoyingly too short.

Hi The Awkward Stage. EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.
Kisses from Brazil,
Marie
