Fighting the Shakes R.I.P 2005-2008: General Info

Member Since	3/27/2006
Band Members	Jayesh - Guitar/Vocals Chet - Drums/Vocals Hadley - Bass/Vocals
Influences	Should be relatively obvious for the most part(?). We all like a lot of the same bands, but we each dislike just as much stuff other people in the band like so it ends up averaging out. No sense making a big list of bands... I figure if I don't care what influences other bands, people probably don't care what influences ours. Am I wrong?
Sounds Like	"post-punk alt indie" apparently. If anyone wants to help us narrow that down a little, drop us a line.
Type of Label	None

Our first review (?) from Cheeseontoast.co.nz

FIGHTING THE SHAKES - All My Friends Are Electric Wellington's Fighting the Shakes serve up six slices of energetic post-punk with this chocolate mud-cake of a mini album. What I am saying is, that I really like chocolate mud cake and I really like this. Equally. With enough hooks like whipped cream to perfectly compliment the dark rich chocolate goodness of the tearing angular riffs, infectious baselines and rat-tat-tat rhythms. Answer the phone - Fighting The Shakes are calling and they want you to dance like a mutha-f*cker. And eat cake. - AT
