A little bit about us:
The name Shelby is an homage to Carroll Shelby, the great racecar builder
of the 1960s.
The band is heavily influenced by contemporary art and photography.
The cover of the "Songs | 8" EP was nicked from a Matt Mullican
drawing.
The cover of "The Luxury of Time" is reproduced with the permission
of William Christenberry, who had a huge retrospective at the Smithsonian
in 2006.
Both records were recorded in the band's own loft studio.
Kenny Cummings was instrumental in flushing out demos for Blonde Redhead
that later became tracks on their critically acclaimed album Misery
is a Butterfly.
Cummings previously played and programmed synthesizers for acts as diverse
as Elvis Costello and Midnight Oil.
Kenny road-races vintage Norton motorcycles.
Shelby has been involved with a veritable rotating list of who's who in
the indie rock scene, especially when it comes to drummers, having lost one
- Kevin March - to Guided by Voices, and secured Simone Pace of Blonde Redhead
to fill in on several of The Luxury Of Time tracks.
Mark E. Smith from The Fall witnessed Shelby's signing to Gigantic, then proceeded to record a song with Cummings - "Trust In Me" - from the record "Fall Heads Roll" released
October 2005 on Narnack Records.
Shelby has done recent shows with Lake Trout, Apollo Sunshine, Benzos, Rogue Wave, Harlem Shakes, Cloud Room, The Thrills, etc.
The band is currently working on material for a new full-length, due 2008.
Steve McQueen is our hero.
