the bloodshake chorus are a rumbustious band of the undead, unearthing the classics of the fifties and sixties with a horrific twist, in a way you've never heard them played before.

performers with heart and soul (not all of them originally theirs) their relentless advance has seen them spread terror throughout the region and even infect the international airwaves.

be afraid, they may be dressed for the abattoir, but they're coming to a venue near you soon, so keep the lights on.

it won't help, as they like to see what they're eating.

the 3rd feb will be the launch of the bloodshakes new line-up
