Event Details
Sasha & The Shades are a four piece band fronted by Sasha Adamczewski on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, backed by Tom Julian Jones on lead guitar and harmonica, Sam Rutland on bass, and Jason Ribeiro on drums. Sasha’s powerful voice and mysterious demeanour command the attention of any room and lend themselves to incredibly atmospheric performances. The musicianship, strong backbeat and Texas twang of the band provide an energy that is sure to get any audience’s feet shuffling.
In 2017 the band played the Red Rooster Festival, did a residency at The Social in August and September, opened for The Strypes at Dingwalls in Camden along side gigs in south London at established venues like The Windmill in Brixton etc.
In November 2017 the band recorded 5 new tracks with producer Sean Read and plan to release these in spring of 2018.
They are currently planning a number of live dates in London, Paris and Holland, as well as some smaller UK based festivals.
In 1999 The Social opened in Little Portland Street. The brainchild of a record company whose offshoots included a hugely successful underground club night, The Social was set up with a simple manifesto – to provide great music and better booze to anyone who fancied tripping through the doors.
15 years later and still run by the original team who created it – Heavenly Recordings & The Breakfast Group – the bar is an award winning London institution. Designed back then by a partnership of David Adjaye and Will Russell (now of Pentagram) with the proviso of withstanding nuclear attack or – at the very least – the worst that people could chuck at it, The Social has launched over a million hugely successful hangovers.
