We are Shahs, an independent band out of Missoula, Montana. We've professionally recorded and mastered a 12-song album with Missoula's own Black National Recording. We're calling the record Vineland.

DO IT DO IT DO IT. We’ve never done one of these crowdsourced dealios before so hopefully it all works out and we can afford to produce VINELAND as a real live vinyl record. HELP HELP HELP. We all work for a living and living is HARD.

Young Marble Giants - Live 1980

I woke up this morning with Young Marble Giants’ “Final Day” running through my brain – the best song about the end of the world? Maybe. So here are two short-but-satisfying live sets from the Cardiff trio (Stuart and Philip Moxham and Alison Statton), recorded in the summer of 1980 (thanks go to Patrick T. for sending them my way!).

Simon Reynolds: [L]ike an old fashioned pocket watch with its casing open to reveal the moving parts, the Young Marble Giants sound would be pared and bare, its meshwork of cogs and spindles exposed in all its intricate distinctness. As Philip would later express it, “You write the gaps as much as you write the music.”

from the album Vineland

Two cool things happened this week: we released our first track off our upcoming Vineland album AND Missoula’s Camp Daze Festival has made its 2017 lineup public and we are playing this year! CAMP DAZE is a multi-venue festival in Missoula, MT running from July 13-15 this year (2017).
