With their high energy sound and unforgettably catchy music, it's no wonder The Shakers have built a reputation as one the country's hottest new independent national acts. The Shaker's first EP showcased their unique mixture of Motown inspired grooves with face pounding, guitar drenched riffs and transformed their sound into melodic high-energy rock'n'roll with a soulful backbone. Their first single, "Distress Signal," was featured on radio stations across the country; most notably by WMMR Philadelphia and the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer of KROQ Los Angeles. The 4 piece formed in 2009 when Chris Lee uprooted from Philadelphia and met singer Jodie Schell, who had been working with Mike Chapman in Los Angeles. The two had an instant musical connection from the moment they were introduced and began writing emotionally intoxicating songs, that were laced with jet fuel drive and then wrapped them up in 3.5 minute pop song treasures. Nick Woods would soon fall into place as the band's room shattering rhythm section along with newest member Blane Barker bringing their tenure of musical experience to the table. Still under 2 years old, they've opened for EVERCLEAR, KIDNEYTHIEVES, SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS , STEEL PANTHER, OUR LADY PEACE and FICTIONIST and have gained a reputation for pounding the pavement hard in LA and abroad. Though the sunset strip is their home turf with repeat appearances at The Roxy, The Troubadour, VIper Room, they've also grown to consider these venues 'home': The Sail Inn (Tempe), World Cafe Live & The TLA (Philadelphia), The Bitter End & Kennys Castaways (NY), Grant & Green and Boom Boom Room (San Francisco), Subterranean (Chicago), and a growing number of cities from coast to coast. Their high energy shows often place them at various sporting events with the likes of The LA Derby Dolls, San Diego and Orange County Roller Derby Leagues, and The Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Arena. The band continues to gain the attention of anyone who happens to witness their spell binding influence, both industry and fans alike can't deny their catch phrase, "I Love The Shakers."
