History
Formation and early years (2007-2008)
'Shakinouts' played their first ever gig at The Brudenell Social Club at a Teenage Cancer Trust fundraiser on June 29 2007. They have played alongside the likes of Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets), Matt Abbott (Skint and Demorolised), Eugene McGuiness, Micky P Kerr and The Farm. In 2008 the band decided to take things seriously following label and press interest. Time You Were Told is the first limited release single following rave reviews from the likes of Matt Bowman from the Pigeon Detectives. The band have been spoken AbOUT and praised by the likes of Edwyn Collins, The Yorkshire Evening Post, Matt from the Pigeon Detectives, Simon from the Kaiser Chiefs and Air Traffic. Their hard work paid off on Jan 23rd 2009 when the boys sold out the legendary Leeds venue 'The Cockpit' & played one of the best gigs many people have seen. Having now built up a big local following, the future looks good for the Shakinouts.
Secrets (2008)
