The Shoes

Scattered shouts from the massive audience meld into the opening keyboard and guitar notes for the song “Time To Dance”. White strobe lights flash across the black stage, illuminating the four drummers, three singers, and keyboardist standing onstage. Suddenly, all four drummers begin to play at once, causing a rushing torrent of sound to envelope the listeners, while at the same time the other instruments pick up speed and intensity. The explosion of sound fills the room, amplified by the high ceilings, vibrating through every member of the audience and sending them into a moving, dancing, frenzied mass. Such is the chaos of a concert from The Shoes. The Shoes is an electro-rock band from France which formed in 2007. Benjamin Lebeau and Guillaume Briere are the producers and songwriters, and they, along with a variety of musicians, make up the group. Their first album, Scandal, was released in 2009 and includes hits such as “Knock Out”, “America”, and “Whips Like A Clap”. Crack My Bones, their second and most recent album, was released in 2011 and includes songs such as “Time To Dance”, which was also a hit single, and “The Wolf Under The Moon”. Both albums contain loud, crazy music which you can't help but move to. When listening to The Shoes, it is impossible to sit still. The Shoes produce great music and a rockin atmosphere. They are not to be missed in concert!
