"Named for the Flamin’ Groovies’ quintessential pop anthem, Shake Some Action! are keeping the power pop tradition alive one major chord at a time. Led by Australia-born singer/guitarist James Hall, the band has been a Seattle mainstay since 2007, when they released their self-titled debut album. Since then, Hall has released four more albums of Rickenbacker-powered guitar pop, incorporating elements of ’90s Britpop and early garage rock into his melodic mix. Although the band remains rooted in classic pop melodies, Catch The Sun, the band’s fifth album, incorporates more toward hazy kaleidoscopic pop tones akin to those that Kevin Parker has so effectively mined with Tame Impala and Melody’s Echo Chamber. When Hall’s voice wavers over a jangly guitar line during the verses “Wait for the Summer”, he crafts a tone that splits the difference between psychedelic bliss and ’60s surf melodies."

Shake Some Action take their name from an excellent album by Flamin' Groovies. The local group's most recent album, Catch the Sun, was released earlier this year.

Shake Some Action! will be playing the Lo-Fi Performance Gallery in Seattle with The Swearengens and Gibraltar on July 19th, 2014. Visit Seattle band Shake Some Action!'s Facebook page: www.facebook.com
