SYDNEY BAND BOSTON SHAKER IS “HIGH ENERGY ROCK N ROLL”.
Tight, economic, pumping fists in the air, Sydney band Boston Shaker is ‘high energy rock n roll’. Not your usual rock band but rather drawing on various influences - a little bit blues, a little bit rockabilly, a little bit Country, some pop thrown in for good measure and a whole lot of rocking out!
The band started when Sydney brothers Ryan (lead vocals) and ‘Jimmy D’ (guitar/vocals) decided to combine their talents and work on some catchy energetic original songs. They called on long time friend and cocktail barmen extraordinaire ‘Pablo’ to play bass and when they enlisted talented drummer ‘Ange baby yeah Blackshaw’’ the lineup was complete.
BOSTON SHAKER were Top 5 finalists in the US based international competition BREAKING THE BAND and their song OFF THE LEDGE is the theme song for the full length feature film, of the same name, due for release in Australia later this year. They have played to packed venues alongside The Mess Hall, British India, Airbourne, the Hilltop Hoods and Regurgitator and are winners of the 2008 NA2R (New Artist 2 Radio) NA2R.com.au rock category.
Their debut single Testify is currently gaining momentum on commercial airwaves right across the country and they have just finished shooting the video clip to accompany their new single to media.
"Boston Shaker not only stole the show, they took it for a joy ride, crashed it into a ditch and torched the wreck.......sounding like what happens nine months after hard rock and indie pop crawl drunkenly into bed together, the band had a catchy sound and a strong stage presence" Drum Media
"Tight, economic, pumping fists in the air rock 'n' roll brimming with energy, Boston Shaker, sporting former Skulker drummer, Angela Blackshaw, might be citing contemporaries like Audio Slave and Incubus on their MySpace site, but what they're really doing is marring the effervescent vigour of The Stray Cats (on title track, Testify) and the pop vim of The Easy Beats (on Rob Banks), with a dash of vaguely tongue in cheek big ballad dramatics on Get Them Back, and their doing it with a remarkable degrees of accomplishment and self-confidence. The giveaway is a cheekily heavy cover of Hot Chocolate's Everyone's a Winner." Drum Media
