Tate Hemlock Love this! Reminds me of the early Paisley Underground bands in parts, combines all the energy and fiery spirit of punk with all the optimism of 60s Psych-pop. Love the layered harmonies and delightful guitar sounds. Cheers! Favorite track: What Again Is Real?.

steveinsocal "...a superb double dose of psychedelic summer-of-love infused sixties-pop from the mightily impressive Detroit-based trio... opener 'What Again Is Real?' is a treasure trove of multi-layered harmonies and shimmering guitars... 'Is This A Dream?', a cover of 60s Nashville group The Feminine Complex song, hits you with its Yardbirds' inspired beat and yet more of those delightful harmonies..."

about

“What Again Is Real?” is a righteously psychotic reaction to an increasingly chaotic world... Colorful lyrics inspire dayglow fantasy, while a chorus of 12-string guitars and multi-layered harmonies transport the listener down a spiral into the mind’s eye. “Upon this journey,” the band declares, “we accept that despite inevitable doom, everything is okay- or so says the girl with flowers in her head.” The accompanying music video was shot on 8mm film in Los Angeles by Mat Dunlap, featuring animations by LA-based psychedelic illustrator, Dawn Aquarius.

“Is This A Dream?” pays loving homage to The Feminine Complex, the legendary Nashville band whose sole album, Livin’ Love, was released in 1969. Shadow Show’s version of the song takes Mindy Dalton’s dreamy organ serenade to new heights, with thunderous drums, vibrant harmonies, and supro-toned guitars.

SHADOW SHOW Detroit, Michigan

Hailing from Detroit, Shadow Show is an uncompromising power trio that combines elements of 60’s garage-psychedelia into a 21st century modern pop-art incarnation. Sleek and spellbinding, the music sweeps you up into frenetic grooves and dazzling harmonies. Their music pushes the boundaries of what can be, yet remains deeply rooted in the raw, untouchable Detroit sound. ... more
