3 Shades is a collective of musicians (and guests) that one could call a "Supergroup". Based in and around Munich/Germany the group was founded 9 years ago. Famous for their rare but exciting live performances it was just a question of time before they released their debut album. And they had time. But now the waiting is over and "Thank God For Beatniks" is ready to enter/penetrate your ears.
Maybe it's some kinda jazz. But spelled wrong and with other results. Maybe it's a quest for all the promises made about music and freedom.
"Thank God For Beatniks" is not an answer to all these subjects, but 3 Shades asks the right questions.

 ELEPHANTS ON TAPE – detail-loving Independent Pop, combined with live-electronics. Five Elephants, archieving balance on a black tape, mounted on the thin line between danceable, krautesk beats and spherical soundscapes. Lisa Zwinzscher (voc, git), Markus Rom (git, voc, synth), Robert Gemmel (synth, sampler, voc), Lukas Stodollik (bass) und Hans Arnold (drums) found each other in the mutual strive for enormous sounds in both live and studio contexts. The five of them share a common preference for electronic and acoustic mixtures, which is uttered in form of a music that couldn’t be more up-to-date than it is – electronical sounds, created by acoustic instruments. With this concept a unique bandsound was created, whose borders are softened anew on every concert.

Alien Transistor was founded in 2003 by Markus and Micha Acher from The Notwist.The labels concept is to produce music that has a musical or personal relation to the Notwist- microcosm: From electronic soundscapes through abstract hip-hop to laptop-treated contemporary, from processed oriental music to Nick Drake-inspired-songwriting: Alien Transistor doesn’t respect any musical boundaries.
