The Shift were formed late 2007, when acoustic duo 'Sarah and Therése' decided their music needed something more...which came in the form of Nic Breakspear on Bass, and Tim Briggs on Drums.
The Shift's high energy live shows fronted by the powerful, and rather fiesty Therése, are so good that one boy cried all the water out of his body. Should you dare witness one you can expect performences of original funk/soul/rock tunes....with a few covers, including Etta James, Tom Jones, Stevie Wonder and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the odd bit of skatting, rapping, Lord of the Dancing and guest brass players thrown in for good measure.
We expect to have more songs up on the Myspace very soon!
The Shift are looking for gigs both in and out of Leeds, to get in touch regarding possible gigs etc, email the.shift@live.co.uk or message this Myspace.
