This ragtag little band evokes everyone from the Shins and XTC to Weezer and Apples In Stereo, all the while sounding every bit like themselves.
Drummer Kathie O'Connor lays down a four-on-the-floor beat, while her husband, singer/songwriter/guitarist Patrick, alternately belts out Costello-ish rockers and croons Elliott Smith-style meditations. Fellow songwriter Curtis Wyant rips a page out of the 60's rock songbook with his melodic bass and keyboard lines, and guitarist Ed Cho fingerpaints all over the proceedings with his wirey Pixies-style leads.
THE SHAKE UPS will shake you up and then sing you off to sleep. Enjoy the ride!
