The Shaky Hands are a Portland, OR based rock and roll band, formed in 2003 upon Nicholas Delffs' and Colin Anderson's move from Mendocino, California. Portland resident Paul Culp joined soon after on bass. They spent the next three years gradually collecting a following in the Portland area, until they were signed to Holocene Music in late 2006 [1]. By this time, the lineup had changed considerably, with Mayhaw Hoons (née Nick Pounders) replacing Culp (who left in late 2004) on bass and the addition of second guitarist Jeff Lehman. Nathan Delffs (Nicholas' brother, and member of The Castanets) joined shortly thereafter on percussion and lap steel. Their sound is a mixture of 1960's style British Invasion bands such as The Kinks, The Who and The Zombies and American folk-rock in the vein of Neil Young. The result is a loose, jangly, rootsy style of indie rock. The Delffs brothers (along with most of the members of Shaky Hands) also perform Shaky Hands songs (alongside original compositions) under the Death Songs moniker, a more experimental and folk-oriented side project.
