Two months in the land of 2pound fried chicken and teeth rotting cider and life is greased lightning for SHAKE! and our arteries. We do miss you sydney siders and the support you gave us and we are representing the grit and glam across the sea for you all.
Scraps on interest - the lads at GIBSON guitars threw a cracking party for Australian and UK acts with SHAKE! as i guess "Australians Abroad" VIPS. The john steel singers were shuffling about as well as all the big wigs of gib. Amanda ,Sam & Lee were amongst the lucky few to see the album launch instore @ ROUGH TRADE of uk legends GALLOWS! - easily the most fun ive ever had inside a record store! ran into Sam from THE SCARE! and a zillon men with neck tattoos.
Rick mayall's cat ( drop dead fred) and a slightly sober tim rogers are some of the recent run ins we have had around olde londy towns. Sam bumped into Acey Slade( Murderdolls/DOPE) and Lee has whored out his sound expertise to Electric Sixx ( yeah yeah the GAY BAR SONG GUYS) , Posion the Well , Unearth and local infamous acts.
Sam and Tim have seen crusty punks piss into camdens canal while asking for more strongbow, I had eaten at The Darkness' favourite indian curry house... and freaked out in london dungeon in true nasal Australian screaming style.
4 Shows in 2months - Each sweaty show has become an excerise in destorying ourselves without destorying the tune! Writing new songs no doubt inspired by the recent uprooting across the globe and the new faces we have seen -these gigs have been the start of a leaner meaner SHAKE! we aint gonna get a star treatment in a land of musicians -so nothing is safe when you see us play.. dance and remember the name.
more shows and more poverty abound! next up playing on the outskirts of town...Sweden & Berlin.
Sam Shake!
