This is a jam of the shake back in 2009.  Recorded on Aj's computer in his garage.

Beast In Black Rock City (Down Dirty Shake)

Jailhouse (the Down Dirty Shake)

In The Spring

Oldie but goodie, this is The Shakes most spiritual song. Our live performance of this tune is more like a seance. We play a trio of ups and downs with golden sand sandwiched in the middle. I think the Lyrics are pretty self explanatory. "You mess with That little white widow, You get a taste for that golden sand". 
AJ Lopez-Lead Vox
Aaron Grimes-Drums, back up vox
James Langarika-Lead guitar Wah-Wah
Joe Milligan-Bass
Carlos Vasquez-Dijeridoo, Seance leader, Back up Vox
Kyle De Martini-Rythym guitar, back up Vocals

Life gets heavy

This is an improvisation on a blues progression. Recorded in 1 nite. Really sketchy but thats why i liked it. I think you get the idea

Stoned to the bone

This is a velvet underground song called "there she goes". 

There she goes

Sunchayenne is now a down dirty shake song. This was the idea that inspired the song.
