History
Formation and early years (2007-2008)
'Shakinouts' played their first ever gig at The Brudenell Social Club at a Teenage Cancer Trust fundraiser on June 29 2007. They have played alongside the likes of Tom Hingley (
Inspiral Carpets), Matt Abbott (Skint and Demorolised), Eugene McGuiness, Micky P Kerr and The Farm. In 2008 the band decided to take things seriously following label and press interest. Time You Were Told is the first limited release single following rave reviews from the likes of Matt Bowman from the
Pigeon Detectives. The band have been spoken about and praised by the likes of Edwyn Collins, The Yorkshire Evening Post, Matt from the Pigeon Detectives, Simon from the
Kaiser Chiefs and Air Traffic. Their hard work paid off on Jan 23rd 2009 when the boys sold out the legendary Leeds venue 'The Cockpit' & played one of their best gigs to date. Having now built up a big local following, the future looks good for the Shakinouts.
Secrets

BEN IS A GIMP
From the Cockpit to Party in the Park

Shakinouts headlined a series of big gigs most noticably at the cockpit in June where they had a packed out room singing their up and coming single "Are You Happy". Due to their great success in Leeds, the Yorkshire Evening post coupled with Radio Aire invited them to share the bill at Party in the Park at Temple Newsam with artists such as Dizzie Rascal, Calvin Harris, N-Dubz and the Noisettes.
