"You know THE SHAKES but I'll tell you anyway...basically it's like if you got really drunk with Little Richard and went over to Joey Ramones house where the drinking continued and you guys sang Sam Cooke songs all night and every body loved it!!!!"
"a fantastic organ-driven rockabilly punk band with two panty soaking singers that croon and swoon and play awesome Sam Cooke covers."
so what separates you guys from the 586 other bands on myspace with the name 'the shakes' now is a period? have you considered an elipsis? 'the shakes...' or '...the shakes'. think about it. mortadella dogs 4eva.
i think i saw the shakes in the hartford courant last week. have you recorded that sam cooke song- bring it on home to me? i'm dyin to hear you play it.
