shakey bones ~ the drunkard and the bottlecap

"Shakey Bones played from January 2006 - August 2007. It all started in Dub-C, California. Our name came from a skeleton hand holding a broken wine glass, Zack noticed it after waking up from his sleep under the living room table, woke Sean up and said "Shakey Bones broke the glass!!!" Zack and Sean played banjo and guitar together in the very beginning, along with Stiv on the Stivharp. The beginning formation spent most of the time busking on the streets of Dub-C, and eventually recruited the upright bass playing Zeebo. We spent our first few months playing various folk/blues songs (and recorded the first 9-song demo) and eventually worked ourself into a fully functional street band. Tilton joined us ukulele soon after Stiv moved to LA, and Zeebo went on to do what Zeebo does best. Bryan joined us on bass, and this became our solid lineup.

Our mode of transportation was a sheik, brown van named as the "Shakey Bus." On a short trip to Santa Cruz where we played mostly on Pacific Avenue and wherever people would have us, we were invited to do a live radio show on Freak Radio Santa Cruz which is what was later cut into the Pirate Radio cd. We played on the streets of Berkeley and San Francisco, but soon realized that our bounderies were limitless. The O.G. Shakey Bus eventually died of terminal heart problems, R.I.P. O.G. Shakey Bus...
