A lot can happen in a months time

Hello my Dears,
Been awhile since I last wrote, my apologies. Lets see what has happend since we last spoke... Hummmm, well quite a lot really, our album came out for starters (7.22), we played some great shows including a sold out record release party at the Troubadour (THANKS very much to those of you who made it out for that), a sold out show supporting the great Albert Hammond Jr. at Spaceland as well as a nice trip to Las Vegas for a record release celebration with our friends out there. We have also shot two new videos for the new album this past month."Savior & "La Costa Verde". My very talented older brother and his friends shot "Savior" and our gifted pal "Jack Coleman" and his crew did "La Costa Verde". I am excited to say the man who shot and is editing the "Savior" video also has the new Bond film "Quantum Of Solace" on his resume. I'm betting it is going to look pretty ace. Expect to see the new videos sometime this month. Since putting out this new album their have been so many wonderful people in our corner lending their support, so many people to thank, my goodness... All of you who went out and bought the album and told your friends to check it out as well as the good people at College and Indie radio stations all over North America who have been playing the new tunes. All the great bands who have had us open for them and the bands that have supported us these past few months ( Hot Hot Heat, Albert Hammond Jr.,Emily Wells, Eastern Conference Champions). Its been a pleasure doing business with ya.

Cool things coming up; We play this Sunday Aug.10th at our home town festival with our good buds Delta Spirit & Dawes. We play for Jack Colemans art show at Detroit Bar Aug.23rd and we are back at The Roxy with Dusty Rhodes and The Riverband on Sep.3rd. For more info on those gigs head to the bands myspace page. www.myspace.com/theshysmusic

You may be wondering where the tour dates are??? Hang tight,we've got a lot in the works right now and in the next coming weeks we should have it sorted. We are going to try and get around the US at least a few times this year as well as a trip to the UK.

What else can I tell you, oh YES! Believe it or not we are already writing songs for the next album. Everyones got a lot of tunes and when we find the time we will probably begin recording again between shows and all the other engagements. Unless I am forgetting something thats pretty much it for now. Y'all come back now ya hear.

Au revoir

New News

Hello Friends,
The band has been running around ragged as of late promoting and basically just gearing up for the release of their second full length LP ("You'll Never Understand This Band The Way That I Do" 7.22.08) To follow up the brilliant Vern Moen "She's Already Gone" video there are two new videos being shot this month by some very gifted folks. (more on that very soon) The band just finished off a local residency last month in their hometown and played the first ever Sunset Strip Music Festival with Hot Hot Heat to a sold out crowd at the Roxy. A couple of early reviews of the new record and singles have started to pour in and the feedback is phenominal. Check out what the first to hear it are saying.

The Shys second full-length release, You'll Never Understand This Band The Way That I Do is a winner. It is a fascinating mix of 60's British psychedelia, 70's pub rock and indie-punk channeled through the vision of a young southern-California band.

The band makes a bold move by starting the album with a mid-tempo instrumental (not the typical Side 1, Track 1) which features both a violin and glockenspiel. One needs to listen to the whole album to really appreciate the depth of the band's songwriting abilities. Across this disc, the band embraces a variety of musical styles that range from The Beatles' psychedelia-era (Revolver and the White Album), Nicky Hopkins-era Rolling Stones (Exile on Main Street and Goats Head Soup) and pub/roots-rock (The Kinks/Dr. Feelgood).

The standout tunes are on this disc are "Savior", "She's Already Gone", "Find Some Courage". All of which have a sort of a John Lennon vibe but singer Kyle Krone makes these tunes his own. Kyle Krone has a great voice that matches the band's style of music as his delivery ranges from John Lennon-ish fuzzed-out psychedelia to world-weary Mick Jagger-style blues (on "Mercy" and "Brother Please")- Brooklyn Rocks NYC Music Blog


The Shys
"The Hangman"
They've taken a leap forward as far as sound and songwriting are concerned, which is nice. More importantly though, they're still having fun. I think it's great how the guitar riffs are as big and loud and possible and I really love the way the guys revert to the number's sing-a-long worthy chorus as much as possible in its three-minute runtime. Grab a beverage and turn this baby up so the neighbors can hear it.-Side One Track One

The Shys
"She's Already Gone"
I’ve listened to it loads this weekend and it’s really good. This song is Mott The Hoople meets Oasis while hanging out with The Band. Sorta- Classic Rock Magazine
