The Shanghai Gesture is the latest band from Atlanta guitarist/singer/songwriter Ray Dafrico. As founding member of The Nightporters, Shades of Shame, Kathleen Turner Overdrive and Kickstand, he has years of experience, opening for bands as diverse as The Clash, REM, The Ramones, The Replacements, Joan Jett, Bo Diddley, Rancid, The Flaming Lips, Lene Lovich, The English Beat, Lords of The New Church, Richard Hell, The Long Ryders, Johnathan Richman, The Offspring, Rocket From The Tombs, The Feelies, Peter Case, The Fleshtones, Jason and The Scorchers, Nikki Sudden, Peter Tork of The Monkees and many others. Side projects have included touring guitarist with 90’s undergound band “Snatches of Pink” and was the original bass player in Atlanta singer/songwriter Michelle Malone’s band “Drag The River”. He has also recorded with Peter Buck of REM, Rob Fraboni (The Rolling Stones, The Band, Ian McGlagan, Beach Boys, Bonnie Raitt) and Brendan O' Brian, (Bruce Springsteen, Black Crowes) and has earned himself a reputation for writing upbeat, hook filled, to the point pop songs that still maintain an edge and are deeply rooted in rock and roll tradition. One review described Dafrico's songs and performance "like Keith Richards fronting The Kinks and a little Brian Wilson thrown in as a sweetener. He has also been called by one Atlanta writer as a "Nose on a stick"... Pretty deep stuff.
The Shanghai Gesture's combination of influences from various 60s British invasion bands, punk,, psychedelia, soul, 70s rock, glam and folk, topped with great musicianship and a sense of humor make them a unique creative rock and roll band in a time when it seems like that is getting to be few and far between.

You should've let me know that TSG is heading to UK. I've been in touch (well, one-endedly -- I just sent an email) with my friends over there who have the Power Pop blog. They did really dig the music, and, will help get the word out for the show(s). They may want to come talk to y'all in London for another blog piece. I dunno.
I also have another friend who is pretty good at the "going out and drinking" thing. I'll see if i can twist her arm and get her to come out. :)
