Shake Tiger Shake

On Saturday night at KOKO as part of our Circus party, we’ve got brand new band Shake Tiger Shake performing live on stage for your delectation.

Here’s what they look like:


Shake Tiger Shake. Go on, SHAKE

So now you’ll be able to recognise them when they’re on stage. The fact that they’re playing instruments and singing songs may be a clue as to who they are as well, but we thought we’d get you one step ahead anyways. We’re good like that.

But why do they sound like, you wonder?

Well, the NME described them as “modern yacht rockers”. Whether that means they hang around on swanky boats with Russian oligarchs such is the yachting society des nos jours, we’re not sure. We can’t really see them cosying up to Roman Abramovich.

We CAN however see them cosying up to Kenny Rogers and Michael McDonald and even Steely Dan, just in slightly more modern fabrics than what they were sporting back in the 70s hey day of the yacht rock era.


Michael McDonald: cosy

They say their influences hail from 80s synth, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Janet Jackson and Bianca Jagger on a white horse.

We say: YES PLEASE.

Come and see them live on the KOKO stage on Saturday night at the Guilty Pleasures Circus!

Climb aboard the Loveboat


Super Special Boat Trip for July Aloha Hawaii Party

Before our Aloha Hawaii Beach Party on Saturday 30th July, how about boating down the Thames in the evening sunshine to a top pop soundtrack from Guilty Pleasures’ Anna Greenwood? Sounds SPLENDID we think, so why not join us on the Guilty Pleasures Loveboat before the party?
