THE MUSIC Take No Prisoners Total Rock ‘n’ Roll: Big Bad Shakin’ s main influences are definitely not to be found in the vintage Rockabilly 1950s sound, neither are they are combo of overweight spare time Rock ‘n’ Rollers. Their music develops along the lines of Shakin' Stevens & The Sunsets, Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Blasters as well as Ronnie Dawson and J.B. Hutto. Big Bad Shakin' combine laid back coolness with a relentless drive in both their music and the spectacular stage show. Their colourful performance is razor-sharp Rock 'n' Roll that clearly shows its roots - Rhythm and Blues - at any time. Forceful drive, massive guitar licks, a pumpin' piano combined with action-packed stage appearance is what Big Bad Shakin' are all about. During one of their concerts tours in the UK Big Bad Shakin’s music was announced as “Take No Prisoners Total Rock ‘n’ Roll” – well, that’s exactly what it is ! HISTORY The rockers first got together in the summer of 1997 when they were asked to replace the headline Rock 'n' Roll act at an open air gig with an audience of about 2,000 Bikers, Rockers, Teds, Cats and Kittens, Grannies and Teens. It was this gig and the RockPopHipHop-aberration of the 1990s combined with each band members' Rock 'n' Roll obsession to start kickin' butts with a big, bad project to get their audience shakin' ‘em bones. The result is a band rockin’ today under the name of Big Bad Shakin'.
