Another truly superb band from the record label that brought us Angel Kaplan, Los Immediatos and Los Impossibles and other great bands, The Shake are dripping in sixties sound and style, knocking out tunes that wouldn't be out of place amongst The Small Faces, The Action, The Allusions, Powder etc, this is a band that have caught the essence of an era for our delight and pleasure!
Deeply in love with beat, garage, pop and psychedelia from the 60′s and
subsequent decades, The Shake have always stood a step ahead of the rest
of bands in the 60′s scene due to their never-ending talent to create
beautifully crafted songs that go farther than the basic structures and
guitar riffs, as well as their unique, neat, hypnotic sound.
The Shake Live.
With their debut lp “Tripping The Whole Colourful World” (Rainbow Quartz/Flor & Nata 2006), critics and fans on both sides of the Atlantic agreed on praising their virtues. That record amazed all those who listened to it and took them to the most important 60′s meetings in Spain, Purple Weekend, Go! Lleida, Festimod.... as well as to the International Pop Overthrow in Liverpool, where they could perform at the Cavern Club.

Later they published their first 45 (Hey Girl! Rds 2008) showing us their dirtiest and wildest side, close to garage-punk.
Now they are back full of energy (see them live and you′ll wet your
underpants!) with new exciting recordings where British-flavoured pop,
garage & psyche are seasoned with black music influences... A
cocktail for select tastes.
