The Shade is Cosmic Americana conglomerated collective with ten hands, two beards, seventeen strings and four drumsticks. Formed in a big yellow house in an old Northeastern shipping town that never got the railroad, they play original music inside and outside, perform loop generating algorithms and once attempted to impersonate the Police. The 3 guitarists are playing a mini-tour throughout southern California in September and a full-fledged east coast tour is planned for October.

Members: Raja Ram (The Infinity Project / 1200 Mics / Shpongle) & Benji Vaughan (Prometheus / Younger Brother)
