Who are Shit and Shine? A bizarre London/Texas hybrid of weird shit currently causing a stir down London way that’s who.

Having been lauded as the band of Sonar 2006, Shit and Shine  is equal parts Strangulated Beatoffs, Butthole Surfers, Merzbow, Melvins and Boredoms - fusing sonic blasts and monster riffs into a hearty brew. Having already gained a cult following due to their legendary one riff / multi-drummer live shows - and from sharing stages with Acid Mothers Temple, Lightning Bolt, Sunn O))) and Earth and more.

Don’t let the fact that SAS is essentially a Todd side project fool you, though — if you were expecting anything resembling the latter’s Southern rock-imbued, riff-heavy sludge then, frankly, don’t. The only thing these two have in common is the truly apocalyptic volume and ingurgitating listening experience.

During the concerts, sometimes they improvise, sometimes they play strictly composed arrangements, always moving from one to the other in unbelievable ways.    For those anxious for comparisons, CCP combines many compound and hyped styles, such as Noise-Rock, Nu-Funk, Free-Prov, No-Wave, Out-Choro, Free-Jazz, Latin-Punk, Proto-Samba… Some claim that their music is extremely intense and visceral, sometimes elegant, while others classify it as nonsense, or naive aggressiveness. A few can even find it funny. They play their own material, or Tony Williams, Tom Waits, Eric Dolphy, Marc Ribot, John Zorn… Their first EP was released in november 2010.
