The Shakedown Combo

- "Burnt Out Hot Rod Car" Now available on UK Label Raucous Records: http://www.raucousrecords.com/rockabilly-cds_21/burnt-out-hot-rod-car-cd_12060.aspx Some of the bands recent gigs include: - Red Hot and Blue Festival (Montreal, QC) - Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Festival (Largest Rockabilly Fest in North America) - Cirque Du Soleil - Moncton MIMEFest - The NAMM Show - The Juno Awards "Music Lives Here" Untapped Stage Calgary In October the band will be performing at The Halifax Pop Explosion The Shakedown Combo perform with the attitude that Rockabilly can be modern and contemporary, not simply a sound from past decades revived by cover bands whenever retro becomes fashionable. The track-list of their debut album Burnt Out Hot Rod Car (produced by Danny B Harvey) displays that they favour original material over reworking the old classics. However, they don't dismiss the original rockers, or the 1980s revivalists. Rockabilly artists from both eras play a big part in influencing the sound and style of The Shakedown Combo, giving them a solid bass to move forward from. Rockabilly fans will love the twanging guitar and slapping double bass that typify the genre, but the catchy upbeat songs and modern production invite wider appeal. The Shakedown Combo's line-up consists of two girls (Gill on vocals and Kim on upright bass) and one Guy (Davey Lee on guitar) who together blast out Red Hot Bass Slappin' Beat Whackin' Rockabilly Twang! The band is Nova Scotia, Canada based but keeps mobile - the band members all have 1000's of touring miles under their belts cut across the entirety of Europe, from the UK to Scandinavia and The Netherlands to the depths of Italy, not to mention festivals and clubs throughout North America.
