New songs available - free download!

How Does It Feel?, Stand and Deliver, Fire and Ice, Touch The Sky and I Get Tongue Tied are the first songs recorded for our third record and they're now available for free download over at our blog, where you can also check out video footage in the studio, read about how the songs evolved and listen to rough mixes and songwriting demos. Follow our progress as the new record comes together!

Upcoming live show

It's been a long time between drinks but we'll be playing live in Seattle this summer. Come see us at the Seattle leg of the International Pop Overthrow at Mars Bar on Friday 8/21.

There won't be any other shows this year so this will be a rare chance to hear some of the brand new songs alongside songs from our last record Sunny Days Ahead which we've never performed live. Stay tuned for more details . . . .

The next record

We just started recording our third album and this time we’re going to do things a little differently. We’re going to  invite you into the studio with us so you can see and hear what we’re up to from day one. We’ll be posting videos, photos and rough mixes on our new blog so you’ll see and hear our progress as it happens.

We’ll also be working a little differently.  Instead of working on a bunch of songs at once, we’ll be working on one at a time until the song is finished.  As soon as it’s mixed we’ll post it online as a free download.  Then we’ll start working on the next song.  Eventually we’ll shortlist the best dozen songs and release it as our next record.

Along the way we’ll be asking for your feedback and ideas and we’ll incorporate as many of those into the record as we can. Instead of locking you out of the process until it’s over, we’re inviting you to be part of it. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Unreleased SSA tune now available

Sunshine & X Ray Eyes, an unreleased song from the Sunny Days Ahead sessions, is now available for download exclusively at cytunes.org.

CyTunes is a download site that features exclusive music from artists who have contributed tracks (both live and in-studio) to help raise money in memory of Cy Rawls. All proceeds from CyTunes will be donated to the Tisch Brain Tumor Center, where Cy was treated.

Californication

Two Shake Some Action! songs were recently placed on Showtime's TV series Californication, starring David Duchovny. What You Want Me To Do appears in episode one of season two, while I Can See Where This Is Going Now appears in episode nine of season two.

Both songs are taken from our self titled debut record, released in 2007. Go here to find out where to download these songs.
