For the past few months, New York’s The Shake have opened their rehearsal space, “The Red Door,” and welcomed a multitude of bands to perform at their monthly party, “The Shakedown.” Saturday, February 12 was the “Valentine’s Day Edition” of the underground-meets-VIP-meets- fraternity-style get-together. The crowd is a mix of fans, friends, and people in search of a good time, who ultimately become fans once they are face to face with the live music. Performers for this month Shakedown, happening on March 12 at The Red Door (140w 24th St) will be psych rockers The Living Kills, Philly’s Deli favorite Penrose, and hosts and rock ‘n rollers, The Shake. – Read Amanda Schupak’s interview with The Shake here.
