In just one year they've opened for EVERCLEAR; toured the country with repeat appearances at The Bitter End (NY), World Cafe Live (PA), The Viper Room (CA), and Sail Inn (AZ); they've received heavy airplay on LA's 106.7 KROQ as well as the east coast's 93.3 WMMR; and on the horizon is a return to Philadelphia to play The TLA on Nov 24th as well as an invitation to perform for an NHL pregame crowd at The Phoenix Coyotes Arena in Glendale AZ. This won't be the first sporting event for The Shakers, as they are a regular halftime act for the LADD roller derby team, as well as the SDDD at Del Mar Fairgrounds. The Shakers have paid their local dues, too; opening for Steel Panther, headlining at The Viper Room (every 2 months), Club Moscow, Les Deux, and Whisky a Go Go. Check out their music video for VILLAIN posted on youtube - it reached 2,000 plays in one month.
