"BEST OF NYC 2007 - Lethally charming and poised for certain success..."
-- The Village Voice
Harlem Shakes as we know it were born in 2006, after an earlier incarnation of the band went to college and went nuts. Lexy still sings lead, and Brent still plays the drums (and drum machine), but now Kendrick plays keyboards, Jose plays bass, and Todd plays guitar. Everyone sings. Harlem Shakes have toured with Deerhoof, Vampire Weekend, and Beirut, and opened for Wire, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Arctic Monkeys, and various other famous bands with animal names. Burning Birthdays, the band’s self-released debut EP, came out in 2007 to wide acclaim, earning generous praise from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, SPIN, AllMusic, Stylus, The Village Voice, and the blogs. (Buy it here, here, and here.)
After extensive touring and a bit of schooling, the band got back together with Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav, The Walkmen, Passion Pit, White Rabbits) to record their first full-length album, TECHNICOLOR HEALTH, which arrives March 24th on Gigantic Music. Harlem Shakes have been obsessed by pop music their whole lives, and after all the reiterations, they still have great faith in its power to make you and them feel a little better about things, and to say something vital, and God willing, maybe even enduring.
Aww boys, I just heard the worst news ever. No more Harlem Shakes? God, that sucks so bad. I'm terribly sad about that...fuck...but I can say thanks for bringing us all some very fucking amazing music and shows. You boys will be missed DEARLY! I wish you the best. Keep well.
you don't understand how the moment i heard you guys, the moment i walked out the house and ran back in because my friend had stumbled on one song, such a long time ago. The song i fell in love with, and always be in love with. . . .
Had made me appreciate your music and all other music a whole lot more.
(That song was 19, its adorable!)
You guys are great, really, you guys put on a really good show, and i love your music more and more. I'm glad to say i just bought it off of iTunes today, my first purchase! I couldn't find it anywhere! hahaha well much love to you guys xo vale

Needless to say, I'm very excited about it, and am sure you guys are stoked as well. Keep up the good work - and if you come through Ohio soon, hit Columbus. There are plenty of people here who need some Harlem Shakes in their lives.
