About this user

It all began with a talented young singer/songwriter named Mitch Crowder, along with his good friend Matt Zwish, a skilled bassist from La Mirada, California. They began their musical journey and started their quest to write music that would one day mean something to fans worldwide. As they continued to grow and expand their talent, the band that would soon become The Shakedown began to expand in numbers as well. Mikee Ahrndt, another talented young singer/songwriter, crossed paths with Mitch and Matt when they played a few acoustic shows together. Eventually they became good friends and began collaborating and writing music together. A few months down the road, Andrew Heise, a very skilled pianist/mandolin player, jumped at the chance to be a part of The Shakedown when he saw the band perform at the Fender Bar in downtown Fullerton. He was instantly inspired by their performance and began jamming with The Shakedown right away. The four talented musicians began writing music and playing shows together, accompanied by Sean Moreno on percussion (another friend of Mitch and Matt. He later left the band to follow a different dream). Sean's decision to leave the band was a setback and a disappointment. However, it opened the door to a brighter future for The Shakedown. Soon after Sean left, a new drummer stepped in. He had an instant connection to the members of the band and to their music. It was obvious that Brent Fullington, a very skilled percussionist and a very good friend of Mike Ahrndt, was the perfect addition the band. They began writing songs and playing shows together and began turning heads wherever they played. The Shakedown was born...
From a 1960's psychedelic Rock n' Roll background; The Shakedown established themselves with a few Folk songs as a rising act. They rapidly developed a solid sound that was recognizable and unique, as well as a lively show that captivated their audiences regardless where they played. After rocking Orange County with their fundamental and basic, yet technical and groovy music style, The Shakedown realized their significance to their family, friends, and fans. Slowly but surely, the band began to realize that they were a part of something special. The rockin' energy and positive vibes only grew stronger as they continued playing shows. As they moved forward as a popular band who cared about their fans as well as their music, The Shakedown began their search for a producer who was not only professional at his trade, but someone who could relate to the music and to the members of the band. In regards to The Shakedown, Andrew Nast was the perfect man for the task. Nast became very good friends with The Shakedown and after vigorous hours of recording, the Shakedown's five-song demo entitled 'knee-Deep-Limbo,' was finally released.

Immediately following the release of 'Knee-Deep-Limbo,' the band began writing new songs for their next album. At this point in time they have forty original songs either completed or in the works and have recorded a three-song demo titled 'Sample this!' to promote their first full-length album. The album was scheduled to be released in March of 2011. A month long tour to promote The Shakedown and their new album was being planned during the recording process. Not only would the band recruit a multitude of new fans from all over the country on this tour, they were also able to build a list of contacts. The Shakedown continued to move forward in a positive, successful, and exciting direction. With their fans eager and excited to hear what would come next, the band kept working hard to keep them happy and entertained, while keeping an optimistic disposition regarding the future of The Shakedown. Finally on March 8th 2011, The Shakedown finished recording Tumbleweed Space Wagon, just in time to have enough copys printed to take with them on tour. On March 17th, the boys set out on their first tour. The Shakedown traveled all the way to texas and back making stops in places like Las Vegas, Dallas and Austin Texas, and several others along the way. When they arrived home, drained and exhausted, they regrouped and made a game plan for the steps ahead. there was much to be done and a lack of time and money. But The Shakedown kept moving foward and started putting their ideas together for their next album.
