About Me:
With plays from XFM, Radio 2, BBC 6Music and a #1 in the Worldwide Podcasting Music Chart, their last single 'Liberty Jones' sold out in 2 weeks. It was also picked up US by Indie 103.1 in LA and 102.7 WEQX in New York. The band played the Reading Festival for the first time last Summer.
Live is the place to see the Shakes. With a reputation for a highly-charged show, they've recently sold out The Borderline, The Water Rats, 93 Feet East, and The 100 Club. Click here for a review from New Noise or better still come down to the next show and join the party.
''One to watch for 2007''
BBC 6Music
''The Shakes will charm your socks off with their catchy choruses, story telling lyrics and damn fine indie pop quirkiness all cherry topped with the swagger of Jagger and a twinkle in their eyes.''
The Sun
''Tip Top Hot Pop''
Artful Festival
''Their gigs are bound to get bigger and bigger, so see them soon if you want to experience the intimate vibe. Their song 'I Want A Better Life' could be prophetic. If they carry on building what they already have, a better life will indeed be theirs.''
