   About Harlem Shakes
HARLEM SHAKES are a pop-music band that lives and plays pop music in New York City. The EP that we made is called Burning Birthdays -- you can order said EP directly from us (sealed with a kiss) or pick up digital copies at iTunes or eMusic (digital kisses only). Here's what the word on the street is:

"BEST OF NYC 2007 - Lethally charming and poised for certain success..." -- The Village Voice

"Unlike so many up-and-coming New York bands, the Shakes avoid lingering in one narrow-minded framework. The harmonies may lend themselves to some throwback Spector-era comparisons, and some of the grander choruses may resemble a primordial New Pornographers or Walkmen, but thanks to a frenetic clip of hooks, you can't simply pigeonhole Burning Birthdays." -- Pitchforkmedia

"They're deriving more pure, unalloyed gratification from the sheer act of coming up with their songs than anyone living on this side of a heroin needle could reasonably hope to attain..." -- Stylus

I am sure you have plenty of random. you rock you rule your the best spam mail and dont have time to cycle through it all. But are you close to recording more songs? maybe an entire album? I am on the PS3 emulated web browser, so i can't read your blogs. or anything.

Please come back to Philadelphia. It's been way too long. I saw you guys open for Phantom Planet at the Knitting Factory in NYC a few years ago, and again at the Khyber in Philly when you were there, and you're more fun than anything. I'm going to try to get up to the Bowery Ballroom in December, so do me a favor and come back to my city? I'll buy you all cheesesteaks.
