Romps plays the drumbs. Shanker plays a guitar. As a pop duo Shanker + Romps have been making music since September of 2007. Their writing, singing and cartooning duties are split pretty much 50/50. They like to sing about bike riding, about snacking, about their pals and about making out. They're playing soon. Come on out, okay?

it snow-stormed in my town last night! my only pairs of shoes are these flat bottom leather loafers with no traction; i can walk as fast as i want and i'll still be creeping along. should i become one of those dudes who has huge sporty walking canes? those guys always scared me a little.
pat! your album kept me company on my marathon 3-day train ride from toronto to vancouver, makin me smile late at night while old ladies doze and crazies make tea in styrofoam cups, imagining how awesome your music videos could be!
Shanks is a barber!?! If Bob had any hair I would've insisted you cut him when we were in Ottawa! We're reviewing Sing For Your Summer in our next ish... should be coming out in Dec. We'll let ya know!
sorry we've been so lax....thanks for the wicked time at irene's this summer. you two are the best entertainment I've seen all year. You're awesome people to boot. Thanks for being so cool. Fish Tacos for everyone!!!! Love from Dave...and the rest...but mostly from Dave.
