‘Liberty Jones’ the brand new single from south London-based four
piece The Shakes is set to
confirm their position as the most exciting new band in the UK when it is
released on 9 October 2006
through Tough Cookie. With ‘Liberty Jones’, The Shakes will charm your socks off with their
catchy choruses, story telling lyrics and damn fine indie pop quirkiness
all cherry topped with the swagger of Jagger and a twinkle in their eyes!
‘Liberty
Jones’ is the follow up from their debut single ‘Goodbye New York’, seven
hundred limited editions sold
out in a week and stayed in the HMV online Top 20 bestsellers for 2 weeks.
The b-side
to ‘Liberty Jones’ comes in
the form of ‘So Serious’ a
quirky slice of electro pop, which showcases The
Shakes’ uniqueness and proves that they’re not just a one trick
pony. ‘So Serious’ shows The Shakes’ ability to conjure up a summer vibe in ones mind while
listening to the track - it will leave you feeling the urge to go sit in
the sunshine, feet in the paddling pool and a large margarita in your
hand.
Live is
where The Shakes have earned
their dedicated following. You
can hear The Shakes fans a mile
off; they know every word to every song, they sing at the top of their
lungs and are up dancing like no-ones watching from the very first note.
To say you’ll be throwing a few more moves than a toe tap by the
end of a gig is an understatement.
If anything
can tell you what The Shakes
are all about ‘Liberty Jones’
says it all; short and sweet indie pop songs with lyrics to get you
daydreaming, mixed with sounds old and new that will get you humming and
feet tapping at your desk all day.
The Shakes have also just launched the first in a new series
of downloadable ‘radio’ shows in the form of ‘Shakecasts’,
their unique take on the current podcast phenomenon. The ‘Shakecast’ includes live tracks, exclusive competitions, and brand
new, never before heard tracks. In the last month alone the ‘Shakecast’ has racked up over 2000 subscribers, coming from as far
a field as Romania, Turkey, Germany, Japan and the US, and is growing at a
rate of 40 per day. With over 18,000 plays on the bands Myspace page The
Shakes look set to become another online phenomenon to hit the music
scene.
