The Shame formed after meeting in a night club in the summer of 2004, It brought together James on Drums/vocals, David on Bass/vocals and Tony on Guitar/vocals... 　　 　　After that first meeting they had the first rehearsal, which spawned the first of there songs..... 　　 　　With a few more rehearsals under there belt, and some more songs, they set about recording the first E.P in the dining room of the David’s house.... The resulting self-made E.P was called "Gun, Good morning, Gun", which included old member Lee Frasier on vocals and keys...... 　　 　　Next was the first live show of the band, playing there local Essex club, but soon after getting the gig, Lee Frasier left the band. Leaving them without a lead singer, but they didn’t want to cancel the gig. So they decided to play as a three piece, with David and James taking the lead Vocals.... 　　 　　After getting a really good reaction and confidence from the first live show, they decided to stay a three piece. So The Shame went into the studio once again to record new songs as a three piece, for a demo to use for getting more live show...... 　　 　　The Shame entitled there second E.P "Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings", at the well-renowned Studio Adelaide. The three songs recorded served as a C.V of sorts for the style of music they wanted to play and what going into a recording studio would offer.... 　　 　　After playing for over a year of shows really honing their live act and material. The Shame decided it was time for a full-length debut album to be made, and now that the band was living under the same roof, after weeks of recording demo tracks for the album in there living room, confidence was high that the material was ready....... With all the demo album tracks recorded, the band thought that they should get in the studio and record there new song Six Shot Dead at a Zombie Party for Sublingual Records compilation CD ...... Thinking that the new song sounded so good recorded at studio 8-ball, with Producer Steve Weston, it resulted the band deciding to add the new track to the album listing and record the album at studio 8-ball 　　 　　So in two days of studio time, they recorded 13 songs with special guest vocals from Mike and Neil from Engerica and Doozer and Logan from Get Girl, save the world. 　　 　　With the album recorded, The Shame embarked on a U.K Tour, playing the North of the country, mainly to push the first single from the album, Where Did You Go? (Now available from the Itunes music store!) 　　 　　After a series of high-profile shows, at such venues as the 12-Bar Club, Denmark Street, The Garage, Highbury, The Shed, Leicester and many shows at The Hope and Anchor, Islington, The Shame have truly become “a live act to look out for....." 　　 　　The Full-length debut album will be released sometime in 2007 on the Dual Records. 　　 　　Thanks for reading 　　 　　The Shame.
