MSG is: Noah "Michael" Cole, Peter "Shakley" Van Siclen & Danji "Graham" Buck-Moore, and occasionally Jason "Michael" Dean.
Together they form a true trio grande of jazz, funk, and avant-garde groove, rocketing back and forth across the musical genre-scape, from reggae to drum'n'bass, Latin to electro, and gospel to Deathklezmer.
A one-word genre would be too confining to accurately describe MSG. The following styles do, however, come to mind: Jazz, Funk, Latin, Experimental, D'n'B, Hip Hop, Electronica, Avant-garde, Rock, Blues, Soul, Reggae, Deathklezmer.
Michael Shakley & Graham are an explosion of creative genious blazing the way through a new millenium at light speed. Miles Davis raves, "Fantastic!", Albert Einstein describes them as "Brilliant", while George Washington thought they played "OK."
MSG is currently taking a short hiatus as its members are spread out over the globe doing many different awesome things. Gigs and a mini-tour of the Northeast are in the works for Summer 2008, however, so keep checking back! For booking info or more information please contact MSG at michaelshakleygraham@gmail.com

Hi there Michael Shakley & Graham first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
Hello, Just dropping in to see if your interested in laying down some tracks with us, we're running some great deals one of which consist of FREE MASTERING. Hope to work with you soon.
I had to hold a mentally challenged radio out the third story window of a building and use a giant camera tripod as an antenna just to hear you guys on the radio. I should totally win the "Biggest Fan" award...
