Formed in the back end of the Vauxhall garage in St. Helens, three lads with varied skills came together in November 2006. After many adventures and long searches they finally found the missing element to their music. They were joined by a bassist from Warrington. After weeks of toying with names they finally decided on 'The Shims'
The idea of the band name is a close secret and can only be shared by asking one of the band members.
With little knowledge of arrangment or sound design 'The Shims' used the guidence of combined influences, personal experinces and musical craft to create their sound. Each song is enriched with biological feelings deriving from personal encounters.
Our aim is to play our music to anybody whose ears are open. Thank you for your support and taking this time to venture into our world of creation.
Our new tracks where recorded live at elusive recordings by a very nice man called Greg. If your looking to do any recording yourself or just need a place to practise we would strongly advise you to get in touch with this guy. Check him out at http://www.myspace.com/elusiverecordingsuk .
