EP NO. 2 "MORE IS MORE" coming March 27th
https://au-dre.bandcamp.com/track/cheap-champagne

What started as a garage project from Melbourne producer Andy Coates, Short Shadows quickly became a popular, party band that play a vast array of styles.  

Short Shadows take soul, indie rock, hip-hop, and ska and blends it all with wry, observational lyrics, punchy horns, urban samples and suburban soundscapes.  The end result is party rock music that you can get down and dance to.  

Hailing from Melbourne's North, and inspired by The Avalanches’ “no sounds are out of bounds” theory, Short Shadows take influence from bands such as The Cat Empire, The Go! Team, Gorillaz and Amy Winehouse.

Fantasist, you are not equip
to deal with reality
you just wanna play, in your room all day
with your plastic piano
and your apple mac
your not musicians
your just two average looking
suburban pranksters
aren't you!
