– Shake Shake Go – In Concert At Paleo Festival – July 22, 2015 – RTS Couleur 3 –
Jumping back into Festival Season this week with the latest offering via the 2015 Paleo Festival in Switzerland. Around for some 50 years, Paleo is one of the more popular festivals in Europe – and 2015 it was no different. Star-studded lineups, lots of new talent, and a raging thunderstorm, turning the otherwise bucolic setting into a mud bath.
But that didn’t dampen spirits at all. And a lot of people braved the haywire elements to catch a few notes from some new kids on the block.
In 2015, Shake Shake Go were a London-based Alternative/nu-Folk/pop band, fronted by the fantastic Poppy Jones, whose voice propels the sound into anthem-category. Coupled with a heavy emphasis on percussion, Shake Shake Go won a lot of followers and press accolades during their very short time on the scene – they had been around 3 years and their debut ep was very well received lby the press and audience.
Shake Shake Go is essentially a UK–French indie folk-pop outfit fronted by Welsh singer Poppy Jones, best known for “England Skies” and their heartfelt, cinematic live shows.
So if you, for some reason, aren’t familiar by all means dive in. It’s Monday anyway.
Okay – now for the begging and pleading part:
You know we’ve been weathering storms, hysteria, lock-outs, shutdowns and malfunctions since 2012 and in all that time we’ve never stopped making Past Daily a place where you come and discover things – old things and new things you may have missed. Past Daily is a huge endeavor and it normally would take a bunch of people handling different chores to pull off the day-to-day that we do. But it’s just me and my archive – this batch of sounds that I refer to every day is what I do because I don’t want to be part of the problem. Knowing things, especially History makes you an informed person – someone who can look at the world objectively and make up your own mind. We don’t do click-bait, come-ons, phishing expeditions or thirst traps – what you see is what you get – and hopefully what you get is a different perspective on things that can only help and not hurt you.
But doing a site like Past Daily take a lot of time and uses a lot of money to keep running – it’s expensive – and that’s why we need your help. Consider becoming a Patron or kicking in for a cup of coffee or two or putting a few bucks in the kitty via PayPal. It all helps keep the site rolling. Yeah, we run ads because we have to, even though I hate them – they only contribute pennies each month, but every penny is never wasted.
It’s easy to become a Patron – just click on the link and you’ll be given a bunch of choices; one time – a specified time – forever. It’s up to you. Once you subscribe you get to join the secret society of folks who can download all this audio for your very own library to use every day as our way of saying thank you. We haven’t gotten to the coffee-cup and t-shirt phase yet (once the operating expenses get taken care of, we’re going to offer percs – I swear!)
But whatever you do, we need you and we want you to come back every day because there is new stuff being posted at least three times a day and it’s eclectic. You may not like everything but it’s your choice and it’s available.
Do what you can – we keep the hounding down to a minimum because I want to let the posts speak for themselves – but we can certainly use the company.
Now back the concert.
