The Manic Shakes - Last Xmas

Who are The Manic Shakes?

The Manic Shakes are a foursome of disaster rock loving super humans hailing from Canada’s rock and roll capital (A.K.A. Winnipeg MB). Their sound has been described as “dirty, punk rock-inflected garage pop punctuated by giant, Dinosaur Jr. Guitars”. Featuring ex-members of Fists In, Ex Modern Teen, Mary Jane Stole My Girl and Mama Funk, The Manic Shakes have been rockin, rollin and leaving destruction in their wake since 2010.

In 2012 they released their debut Self Titled 7', which went to # 1 on CKUW and spent 6 weeks in the top 10 on UMFM. The 7' - pressed on turquoise vinyl - elicited favorable reviews from Stylus Magazine and Uptown Magazine.

Somewhere amidst the hoopla they found the time to make a music video for their song “Fire Hazard” and play numerous shows in and around Winnipeg. Some highlights being: rocking the Canada Day Streetfest in Osborne Village and playing a diverse series of opening slots for The Slates (Edmonton AB), The Secret Broadcast (Toronto ON) and Winnipeg's own Mahogany Frog.

What’s next for these slaves to “chaos rock”? Another 7” in the spring? Maybe an E.P. in the fall? What surprises do these guys have up their sleeves? Stay tuned because the answers to these questions and more are just around the corner.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a band to make music exciting again, The Manic Shakes are here to make your dreams come true..
