The Roommate Day 1
Big news here in Shaimusville, everyone.
Shaimus has been given the chance to have two songs, not one but TWO songs featured in the upcoming movie THE ROOMMATE.
Not only that, but we actually got a chance to be IN the damn movie. So here's a quick look at our first day of filming. We couldn't be more excited about this opportunity.
More to come, so stay tuned!

stuck in the middle
Since Shaimus formed as a band, I've always found it hard to define or describe to someone what we sound like. There are few comparisons and references to other bands that feel right, making it hard to find the stylistic anchor that defines us. Our songs are not raw or ironic enough to be indie. Song-to-song, we're too capricious to be a mainstream pop band. We are an independent group without the support of a label or hair stylist, or the force of an "extroverts-for-introverts" street team.
Up until recently I haven't seen this as a challenge or even remotely as an issue because we've been having the time of our lives creating and recording and playing shows... all the stuff that you think a band needs to do. And now, faced with the next step, it feels as if we've hit a wall. What do we do? We go on tour and start pwning noobs obviously. But how? Where does the money come from to fund all this? What does a band without a stylistic niche do to market themselves? Who do we hone in on, who do we exclude? What would The Jonas Brothers do?

Well we have a lot of ideas, but it would be awesome to get some real feedback from some real people. Who do YOU think we are? And how can you help us take over the world?
Always love,
-Phil
