   About The Shy Ones

This band is all about the love of Rock'n'Roll music & the true passion that we embody into writing our next catchy song.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Leif, Spencer & Nils will be on tour with The Greatest Hits this SUMMER!!!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

"The Shy Ones unabashedly play pop music that poses as nothing else. It's pure, simple and honest. Leif writes the kind of songs that I want to listen to."

--------> Erik Foster (The Pranks)

"A sort of supergroup culled from Seattle's thriving punk/power-pop scene (members have previously been spotted in the Greatest Hits, the Pop Machine, and the Cute Lepers), the Shy Ones come at their simple, spiky, catchy tunes the same way as the Ramones once did – by revving up the sounds of Tommy James and the Shondells and early Kinks and the like; merging the mod-pop '60s with the proto-punk '70s. The Shy Ones benefit from a firm grasp of punk history, the need for gritty crunch and sweet hooks, and the killer boy-girl harmonies from singer-guitarists Leif Pacemaker and Tessonja Odette. A handful of the quintet's songs have been captured in the studio by Briefs/Cute Lepers main man Steve E. Nix, the scene's spiritual leader, and both the Shy Ones' additional demos and undeniably entertaining live shows point to a bright future."

--------> Michael Alan Golberg (Seattle Weekly, The Short List)

"I was impressed with The Shy Ones who have a cool sound that's one part The Beatles, one part The Shangri-Las and two parts The Ramones. This was only their second show but they played a tight and entertaining set. Keep an eye out for them."

--------> Andy (Seattle Powerpop Blog)

Buttons available! Just ask us and you will receive as many as you desire!

All I Ever & In The Dark will both be featured on the movie soundtrack for "Scenes From Oblivion."


Scenes From Oblivion (2009) - Trailer B from Mike Cuenca on Vimeo.

Also both songs were featured in our friend's short documentary, "A Generation of Consolidation". The documentary has won awards in Seattle, California, New York, & recently Portugal!




Thanks for listening & remember it's you that makes this music so fun to play. So help spread the word of our name and tell all your friends!
