-June 2010: Ikebe Shakedown has a new 45rpm record entitled "No Answer". It is a tune I wrote - on the A side is our version and on the B side is a version of the same tune done by our label mates the Jive Turkeys. This is very exciting - check it out! It's available through online record stores as well as our shows of course.

-December 2009: Ikebe Shakedown debut EP and 45rpm record "Hard Steppin'" is out! Check out some of the tracks at www.ikebeshakedown.com. The EP (on CD) and the 45 can be ordered there - or you can get the tracks digitally on iTunes, amazon, etc. Wed had our release party/show at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn.

-November 2009: Just got back from a great California tour with Ikebe Shakedown! Played shows in Fullerton, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz and a wedding in Palm Springs. We also spent 4 days in the recording studio at Killion Sound, engineered by Sergio Rios, guitarist of the band Orgone (you've gotta check these guys out if you're not familiar with them). I really enjoyed the recording experience at Killion - the studio has a cool live setup, the gear has good raw, fat sounds with lots of vibe, and it was really great working with Sergio. Watch for a full-length Ikebe Shakedown album to be released next year!
