Fresno Famous

Shellshag is a spastic, minimal, two-piece, rock band spewing the sound and tradition of old punk with the feeling and noise of no wave; their music and live shows are very unpredictable. These minimalists have a thunderous sound and an innovative approach. Their noisy, pop hooks have catchy phrasing, tune and melody; their noise infiltrates these hooks and words, creating a very ambiguous sound that enhances their image. Throughout this decade they have always had their fingers on the pulse of the times. These old-schoolers have played with some of their earlier peer influences such as, Iggy Pop, The Cramps, J. Mascis, Evan Dando and have been recorded by Pavement drummer Gary Young.

Cinemechanica features an exciting two-drummer rhythm section fused w/ heavy bass, iced with passonate vocals, and melodic guitars the twist and turn in a fury of arpeggiated math-rock madness. Their songs range from fast to mid-tempo, often within' the same song. This is another one of those exciting young bands that will play Howie & Son's Pizza prior to the famous CMJ Music Fest this year.
