Live and Unsigned

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:31:09 +0000

Yet another small UK event for b-SHAKE called “Live and Unsigned”. A s***load of bands performing one song each. It should be pretty intense and tight in terms of timing. I think we’ll be the only band representing Belgium at this point which is very pleasant. If you want to attend, here’s how you do it:

Princes Hall, Princes Way, Aldershot near Guildford GU11 1NX, Guildford, London and South East GU11 1NX

Performance time: from 9:30AM till 10:30AM.

The Dublin Castle

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 08:34:10 +0000

Those of you who are following us on a regular basis know that we’ve played a small gig in London at “Hope & Anchor” last year. It was in January and despite some extreme working conditions, it was a good way to start the year 2009. The venue is held by Bugbear Bookings and this year they’ve decided to invite us to play again at another one of their venues called “The Dublin Castle”. It’s a similar place, similar equipment but different crowd and beer. We’ll share the stage with some quite interesting UK/Israel acts such as:

HOOF- Great proggy jazz, reminiscent of Mr Bungle or Zappa.

THE FIELD PEOPLE- Willfully old school what with the amassed wailing vocals and keening guitars. It’s at times a campfire singalong. Then it’s a blues rocking groove out. The Grateful Dead are in here in spades, late era Byrds too and some Stones n Creedence . And a nice Moby Grape vibe. Do it well, old school hairy rock outta Israel.

SACRED- Rock pop all girl band hard edged punk thru metal toches a la The Runaways.

SMALL GODS- Early Pink Floyd via Gomez thru a Weller sort of groove…

So as you can see the schedule is quite tight and it looks like this is going to be some intense evening. So hope to see you there.

Het Kampioenschap Van Brussel

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:11:53 +0000

Some of you remember the day b-SHAKE performed with a beautiful black girl in a wedding dress on bass. She almost missed the wedding of her sister to play with us (well actually to help us out). It was the last years Kampioenschap van Brussel championship edition and this day we found Rage, the actual bass player. So it was kind of a big day for b-SHAKE and there’s no better way to celebrate it than play at Het Kampioenschap Van Brussel again!
36 bands have been selected to perform during 6 days across Brussels. The complete list of bands as well as the complete 6 days schedule can be found here
www.hetkampioenschapvanbrussel.be. All bands participating on this event can also be found on vi.be, new social media network which you can join as a band, DJ, promoter or fan to be able to interact with different acts.

So we all hope you’ll be there on Friday September 25 2009 at 8PM Belgian time. It is totally free and absolutely fantastic.
