ALSO: if you're an "indie rock" band from East Malaysia who just "finished" your first burned Cd of 4 demos.....WE ARE NOT ADDING YOU. We tend to concentrate on those in about a 300 mile radius or those who have some sort of connection to us philosophically, culturally, musically, or somehow have a branch on the Shake It family tree - in whatever way possible. Sorry.
Good luck, but sorry.

To Order Any Of The New (Or Classic) Killer SHAKE IT Releases Please Hit Up Our Website!
A lil' history - the Shake It Records Label was started by Jess Hirbe & Doc Kalmus in 1979 as a way to issue records from local no-goods - mainly The Customs.
It sat dormant for most of the 1980's until it was revived to issue The Mortals "The One" 7' in 1993. Since then, the label's present owners have released (or will soon release) albums, CD's & 7's from The Ass Ponys, Nomads, Hogscraper, Hasil Adkins, The Cowslingers, Tigerlilies, Long Gones, Thee Shams, Pearlene, Man or Astroman? Dalhart Imperials, Eric Kinsey & His Tip-Top Daddies, Crimson Sweet, Wussy, Dan Melchior, John Doe (1200 Hobos), Viva La Foxx, The Not, Glue, Customs, Mr. Dibbs, Greenhornes & more.
Along the way we began selling other music we liked via the label-related mailorder catalog that eventually evolved into a 1,000 square foot storefront in the Spring of 1999 in the neighborhood of Northside - just outside of downtown Cincinnati, one neighborhood over from the University of Cincinnati. On Sept, 11th 2001 we moved to our present 3,200+ square foot location just a block south of our original site.
Our current store stocks over 30,000 titles on compact disc plus approximately 8000 titles on vinyl. In addition, we have well-stocked used cd & lp selections. We carry some mainstream releases, but we specialize in independent labels from the obvious to the obscure - Chicago post-punk art-rock to Ethiopian boog-a-loo and all stops in between - rockabilly, vintage soul, r&b & blues, punk/hardcore, classic country & the best of the new breed, 60's garage & psych, reggae/dub/rocksteady & vintage ska, krautrock, creative hip-hop & electronica, tons of straight ahead rock n' roll & "alternative", plus vintage bop, cool & avant garde jazz, cult soundtracks, Afrobeat/funk, "difficult listening" and much more.
We're introducing new releases and back catalog items every day, so there's always something new in the bins. It would be physically impossible for us to carry every title we would like, so we offer a special order program that gives us access to over 400,000 domestic & import titles at any one time in all genres and on all available formats. Many show up in a couple of days while others, like some imports & microscopic indies, are a bit trickier and take more time.
In addition we also carry a related selection of over 1200 DVD's, 3,000 books and nearly 400 music & related culture magazines & fanzines. In addition we also stock an ever rotating selection of kubricks, be@rbricks, limited edition Japanese & Western vinyl figures from such designers as Michael Lau, Dalek, Kaws, Brothersfree and many others.
Our continued growth is due to our commitment to providing quality customer service, striving for the best selection of music in Cincinnati, our enthusiasm for the music we sell & its related culture and involvement in our community. We know our customers have choices when it comes to fulfilling their music needs and we appreciate the opportunity in trying to meet those needs.
Thanks for the add - Hickory Robot is glad you're a friend! Hope you get a chance to check out our tunes, and be sure to let us know what you think! Then come back to visit, because we'll be adding some more music real soon. Have a great weekend!

Opening Final Friday May 29, 2009 6-10 PM
05/29/09 through 06/21/09
Visionaries and Voices present’s Neck Kisses are the Best, a show by multimedia artist, Adam Maloney. This is his second solo show at Base Gallery featuring new postmodern works that reveal his passion and interest in women. Several women have been in his life as friends or girl friends and typically become the subject matter and inspiration for his works. The women reveal undertones of heightened sexuality juxtaposed with handwritten text such as: hot, nuke, AK-47, seductive, the phrase, built for speed. Together the artworks reveal the explosiveness and toxicity of love.
Adam creates what he calls, canvas compositions, by layering different types of packaging and papers, glued and stapled together. The imagery drawn over the assembled canvas materials is very dense, thick with different drawing mediums. A female portrait or torso can always be seen along with her measurements and assigned number. The numbers are important and reflect mans desire to label women as objects of sexual desire.
Due to the recession Adam is offering “Name your price” pricing for his works. Please join us at Base Gallery this Final Friday and experience Adam Maloney’s artworks, light appetizers and wine. Presented by Visionaries and Voices 3841 Spring Grove Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45223 ph (513) 861-4333
