“Like The Pretenders in 1980 if Lawrence was writing their songs”

New Cue 2026

The Sha Sha Shanimals is a band, a feeling, an ecstatic vibration and also a troupe of crepuscular hallows intent on bringing their actual melodic po-wave no-wave punk songs to the whole of the imagined universe. They’re releasing their second 7” single in October and are excited to play those tracks plus other whizzding tunes at the hallowed “kitchen gig” de ALBION NIGHTS. Previous single Dumb Contortion was even written in a kitchen. How’s that for serendipity. This evening has magic written all over it, nay injected into its evening-y veins. And it hasn’t even happened yet.

The Sha Sha Shanimals is comprised of, for information purposes, Siân Pattenden (vox, gtr); Louis Jones (gtr), Dan Farrow (bass) and Camila de la Vega (drums). They are quixotic but true, and quite handsome, all four of them.

You can find them at the usual places, and sometimes not, but do go to @sha_sha_shanimals for top news and sharp notions.

Support comes from Mo Feral. We're excited to hear this new project IRL from Mo, formally of The Molee Shakes. Fuzzy garage blues meets a lonesome twang. Raw reverb and melancholy melodies. Not to be missed!

As ever with our kitchen gigs, please make the suggested CASH donation of £15 on the night.

Your booking here reserves your seat/s.
