The Shakedown

"...the timbre of Timmy’s voice in the first through verses really shines through… and know what, it’s not too dissimilar to the dulcet tones of Fat Freddys Drop front man Dallas Tamaira" - Rip It Up, Feb 2014 "Next Movement is a great debut, and one that I’ve played a lot over the past couple of weeks; given how infectious the songs are its bound to be played a lot more over coming months." - muzic.net.nz, Feb 2014 “I had the privilege of seeing The Shakedown play their first gig as the new collective and it truly felt like I was witnessing history in the making. For me in these modern times, honesty reigns supreme and these guys are royalty. Long Live The Shakedown!” - Warren Maxwell (Trinity Roots, Fat Freddy's Drop, Little bushman), July 2013 Gathering together a diverse group of Wellington musicians, The Shakedown blend soul, funk, and hip-hop with doses of dub. The result is a exciting new blend of street sounds and party music. Frontman Timmy P creates his own edgy but expressive underground vernacular, while Tainui Salzmann (guitar) and Liam Hanley (bass) bring an agile, rock-solid rhythm section. Together they create their own signature rhythmic foundation, providing the ultimate canvas for Timmy P to embellish with his vocal talents.
