The Blind Shake

**The Blind Shake** is a Minneapolis-based garage-punk trio known for their chaotic energy, blistering riffs, and relentless rhythms. Formed in 2003 by brothers Jim and Mike Blaha (guitars/vocals) and drummer Dave Roper, the band carves out a raw, noisy sound that blends surf-rock twang, psychedelic noise, and proto-punk intensity. Their live shows are legendary for their pummeling force, often leaving audiences both exhilarated and slightly terrified. Over the years, they’ve dropped wild records like *Seriousness* and *Fly Right* on labels like Slovenly Recordings and Goner Records, and even teamed up with outsider music legend Michael Yonkers for collaborative projects. With releases like *Modern Surf Classics* and *Celebrate Your Worth*, they’ve stayed weirdly prolific, proving garage rock doesn’t have to play by the rules. Catch them on tour if you dare—just don’t forget earplugs.
