[size=3][color=sienna][b]The songs of Shane Shu approach you like a sea of soaring birds. They glide softly upon his non-titled debut that appears via V2 Records on 10th of March, 2008.
The record contains ten irresistible songs which draw upon a kaleidoscope of influences: ‘The Gorillaz cheering Frank Black and The Reverend Albert Greene in an arm-wrestling match with Bob Dylan and Kim Deal adjudicating.’ That was the description Shane once gave to Holland’s renown music platform 3 VOOR 12.
Shane Shu was born in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada and raised by a Dutch father and a Dutch/Chinese mother. Just after his 18th birthday his parents divorced. His mother fled back to Amsterdam and 2 years later Shane followed. Distraught by the bitter circumstances and yet driven by some inner need for recognition Shane followed the motto of his teen idol, Perry Farrell: “My sex and my drugs and my rock ‘n’ roll. All my brain and body needs!”
Whether Amsterdam offered him the portion of sex and drugs he needed, this story need not tell. Nonetheless, this new environment provided him with an enormous boost of creativity and introspection.
Music has always played an important role in Shane Shu’s life. At the age of 13 Shane played local talent shows, impersonated pop stars like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, and could be heard regularly reciting Shakespeare on his neighbours’ trampoline. Three years later and packed with a driver’s licence he discovered that girls were, for the most part, interested in men who could sing and play the guitar. So he learned a chord here and a melody there through other players in town and then tried them out in candle-lit house-party bathrooms and beer filled garages before innocent young girls.
His first songs were influenced by the work of singer-songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Black Francis. While the quality of his melodies and lyrics improved the ambiance of the music changed as well. Shane realized that he wanted to entertain with his music. He also realized that the ambiance he yearned for should be uplifting, summer-like and extrovert. The next step: a meeting in a music-store.
In order to pay the bills Shane worked as a freelance photographer and a guitar salesman. One day he met Paul W Willemsen (among others, Supersub, Lefties Soul Collection, Amigos Eléctricos, Matik, and Zuco 103). Paul impressed Shane with his taste in effect-pedals and the exceptional sounds he generated from them. Shane’s invitation to join his non-existing band was declined. Paul was too busy. When, by chance, the two met a few weeks later in the washroom of the movie-theater Kriterion, they started talking again. This time Paul gave in to Shane’s enthusiasm.
In the months that followed, Shane Shu’s songs started taking shape. In Paul’s studio (an abandoned school-building in the old-south district of Amsterdam) the two met frequently to experiment with sounds and put some kind of form and structure into Shane’s concepts and ideas. It didn’t take long before both of them knew that something special was taking place. They just seemed to be missing a crucial element. . . A band!
So, a few days later, while surfing on Myspace, Shane clicked on a photo of a beautiful, blond, curly-haired-girl. It was Catarina Aimee Dahms from South Africa. As traffic stopping as she was, her profile revealed a talented young artist with an exceptional and refreshing style. Shane imagined her in his band (and rumour has it) quickly wrote her a dozen Haiku’s. They met later in the week at the Weber in Amsterdam. 6 beers later Shane proposed: ‘So. . .would you like to be a part of my band?’
