About The Shakes (2004 - 2008)

MyGen Profile Generator

Everything has to wind down - and that time’s come for The Shakes. We managed to half-recorded the album, but the commitments of playing in a band got too much for us to carry on.

Thanks for your support over the years: for all the singing and too many good times to count. We'll keep the page up and the tracks on here are all available to download for free. You can also watch our vidoes still on Youtube.

But it’s not the end. Ed’s spent the last 8 months writing and recording new songs with soul girl Amber. He’s behind the keyboards and drum machines and she’s the new voice. You can hear our new stuff at

HEADS HEARTS MYSPACE

Cheers

[HELL]Aaron	Jul 16 2008 8:06 AM i thought you guys had broken up a while ago, but i didnt want to belive it. you still have the highest played song in my itunes playlist (i want a better life). any chance of ever seeing just a litle lie on this page? Cheers, Aaron
Sarah	Jul 15 2008 2:52 PM Yeah, things happen. By the way, I noticed that I wrote in German!! Sorry about that :) I am a bit confused - sometimes. Anyway, I won't forget you guys. Your music will always remind me of a great English summer ;) Regards from Germany, Sarahx

censored.	Jun 24 2008 6:45 AM "You are given a one pound coin" I see what you are all thinking....You walk into the iTunes Store and see a generous amount of "I's" and "Tunes" fluttering around like Great Crested Grebes. Well in fact, its that overwhelmed by Marmite that its difficult for the Great Crested Grebes to get a look in. It merely comes down to whether you would prefer to spend your designated pound coin on Marmite or as you may well know our iTune 'Play The Game' which clocks in at a miniscule 79p. Leaving you with 21p to spend on a pack of home brand crisps which are often referred to as potato chips in America. Now your mission statement is to either Love it or Hate it and indeed go ahead and buy it. 'Play The Game' out on iTunes now! Chris G x censored.

The Moor Music Festival	Jan 20 2008 12:08 PM The Moor Social Friday 25th January The Brudenell Social Club Leeds Doors 6pm KLEZMA TRIP - Are simply an awesome live band. Featuring the amazing musicians that are Giuliano Modarelli, Bill Laurance, Sam Hobbs and Joe these guys had a packed Brudenell dancing all night to infectious eastern grooves which blends aspects of funk, jazz, reggae and indian music into a medicine which you just want spoon after spoon of. Although they are yet to have there own myspace, you can get a flavour here:.. http://www.myspace.com/giulianomodarelli VESSELS - These guys absolutely rocked Moorfest with mucho hardness and aplomb. They're always getting better, bigger and probably older too. Massive soundscapes, deliciously simple melodic guitar meanderings, vocals that haunt but are still comforting and an intensity that sucks you directly into their world. http://www.myspace.com/vesselsband COWTOWN - Instant party merchants and connoisseurs of novelty, the Cowtown crew are like a reflex to an injection of arabic coffee directly into both cheeks of your bottom that remains long after they've finished. Skewed sharp guitar riffs, electro kitsch synths and sparse and hard rock drums is one way of summing them up and definitely not the best. http://www.myspace.com/cowtownsuperstars GRAMMATICS - Some beautiful is being made by this band. Thoughtful, saturated with meaning and executed with a maturity that is usually way beyond their years, but not this time. Crashing guitars, inventive song structures, soaring cello, wanting vocals, the macabre, regret and then rushes of hope. http://www.myspace.com/grammatics CAVIL - An acoustic artist whose sometimes fraught vocal delivery goes hand in hand with his beauifully bleak lyrics and gentle picking style to paint the scene of a walking alone in a cold but fresh dawn. http://www.myspace.com/cavilwatching PETER WRIGHT - An acoustic singer/songwriter who is constantly drawing strength from Michael Elphick'
