'''Shakinouts''' are an English [[indie rock]] band who formed in 2007. Hailing from [[Leeds]], the group consists of Matt Wilson, Jamie Williamson, Daimo Moore, Sam Potter and Rich Myers.

==History==
===Formation and early years (2008-2010)===
'Shakinouts' played their first ever gig at The [[Brudenell Social Club]] at a [[Teenage Cancer Trust]] fundraiser on 29 June 2008. They have played alongside [[Tom Hingley]] ([[Inspiral Carpets]]), Matt Abbott ([[Skint & Demoralised]]), [[Eugene McGuinness]], Micky P Kerr and [[The Farm (band)|The Farm]]. In 2009 the band decided to take things seriously following label and press interest. Time You Were Told is the first [[limited release]] single following rave reviews from Matt Bowman from [[The Pigeon Detectives]]. The band have been spoken about and praised by [[Edwyn Collins]], The [[Yorkshire Evening Post]], Matt from the Pigeon Detectives, Simon from the [[Kaiser Chiefs]] and [[Air Traffic]]. Their hard work paid off in 2009 when the boys sold out the legendary Leeds venue '[[The Cockpit (Leeds)|The Cockpit]]' & played one of their best gigs to date.  Having now built up a big local following, the future looks good for the Shakinouts.

===''Releases'' ===
The group's debut EP ''Secrets'' was released in September 2008. 

Are You Happy! September 2009

Shakinouts EP  - February 2010!

===''From the Cockpit to Party in the Park''(2009-.......)===
Shakinouts headlined a series of big gigs most noticeably at the cockpit in June where they had a packed out room singing their up and coming single "Are You Happy". Due to their great success in Leeds, the Yorkshire Evening post coupled with [[Radio Aire]] invited them to share the bill at [[Party in the Park]] at [[Temple Newsam]] with artists such as [[Dizzee Rascal]], [[Calvin Harris]], [[N-Dubz]] and [[the Noisettes]].
In December 2009 Shakinouts supported Shed Seven on their latest academy tour.

Shakinouts have spent 2010 writing and recording songs in preparation to show that they deserve the reputation that they have achieved.

On 1 March 2011, Shakinouts returned with their first new material in 18 months 'I Stand Alone' as a free internet download, with the promise of more new tracks over the coming months.

They have since announced the release of the first single proper, Quiet Life. Recorded by upcoming recording engineer James Simpson and mixed by renowned producer Simon Humphrey and mastered by Barry Grint. The single is backed with the track Get Up and due for release on Monday 25 April 2011.
