Tiscali Showcase - The Shakes

The Shakes blew us away when they made their first appearance at a Tiscali Showcase back in December last year - and they returned triumphantly to open the special 10th anniversary Showcase on May 20th 2005.

Shakes update: The Shakes present the first in a new series of downloadable 'radio' shows in the form of 'Shakecasts', their unique take on the current podcast phenomenon. Hosted by The Shakes, their debut "Shakecast" is packed with excerpts and interviews from their recent sell-out show at 93 Feet East in London plus exclusive competitions and some brand new, never heard before tracks.

Video footage from the night is available here on the Tiscali Music Showcase area.

The Shakes appeared originally at the fourth Tiscali Showcase - Christmas Special at the Bar Academy Islington on December 10th 2004 - where they played a fantastic, lively, funky set exclusively for Tiscali. You can Listen to audio from then night below

From the same neck of the woods as Athlete in Lewisham, South East London, it's The Shakes live shows that have really earned them their following.

Irrestistably catchy tunes, sharp lyrics and a strutting confidence that's already caught the ear of Radio One's Steve Lamacq.

This summer, The Shakes headlined a packed Borderline, played Sound in Leicester Square and debuted at The 100 Club. One to watch next year, expect fireworks at Bar Academy.

THE SHAKES in one line: hot S.E. London five piece crash out pop classics.
