Following the release of their debut single ‘The Routine’, Von Shakes released their debut album also titled ‘The Routine’ in April 2010, and followed that with a second single ‘Template’ in June. Their new single 'My Side' goes on official release on 8th April 2011.

A Rock ‘n’ Roll four piece from Dublin formed in 2007, the band have finally brought the sound that has enthralled audiences in Ireland, England, Germany and even Russia to the recording studio. With the production help of Conor Brady (The Blades, The Revanants) and Phil Hayes (Delorentos, Bell X1), Von Shakes have translated their electrifying live sound onto record, capturing everything that has contributed to their critical acclaim in the past year.

Regularly playing live over this past year has served to cement Von Shakes as one of the tightest bands in Dublin and their recent performances at The Phantom First Friday (Academy, Dublin) and No Fiction (London) captured on HD (now on youtube below) is evidence of a band on the verge of making big waves on the scene. With a new single ‘My Side’ ready for release in early 2011 and numerous festivals already confirmed, Von Shakes are steadily getting to where they want to be.

The band will be in NYC for June and July 2011 to play a number of gigs starting with Sullivan Hall on June 2nd at 8pm.

Band members:
Patrick Brazel – lead Vocals & Guitar
Hugh O’Reilly – Guitar
Cillain McSweeney – Bass
Aaron Masterson - Drums


Single Reviews:
Nothing if not punchy, Von Shakes know when to build up and when to break down, making this track far from the same old routine" - Celine Murphy, HOT PRESS

'The Routine' shows a band that have grown in stature since their debut EP 'Mind Your Head' and if they keep going in the direction they are, could grow to be a force to be reckoned with." - Music Review Unsigned
