Shake Some Action! is a power pop band from Seattle.
Recalling an era when jangly guitars and rich vocal harmonies fueled melodic pop songs, the band's influences are such luminaries as the La’s, Hoodoo Gurus, the Kinks, the Beatles, You Am I, Stone Roses, Big Star, the Small Faces and Teenage Fanclub.
Shake Some Action! was started in early 2006 by Australian songwriter/guitarist James Hall, after the breakup of his former band, the Jeunes.
While the recording of their debut album was mostly a solo affair, to support the release of the record, James has put together a live band to play a limited number of shows in Seattle in late 2006/early 2007. Joining him will be David Bos (Daylight Basement, the Jeunes) on guitar, Gary Miller (the Scheme) on bass and Chris Campbell (the Scheme) on drums. |
