Ikebe Shakedown plays with elements of cinematic soul, Afro-funk, deep disco, and boogaloo in all the right ways. After spending a few years together the group, named after a favorite Nigerian boogie record (and pronounced "ee-KAY-bay"), delivers a driving set of tunes featuring a mighty horn section anchored by tight, deep-pocketed grooves. Ikebe's first full length LP and new single were released on Ubiquity Records over the summer of 2011. Recorded at Killion Sound in LA (Orgone) and at Dunham Studios in Brooklyn this was a follow up on a debut EP and several 45s released on Colemine Records. After a strong spring 2012 tour that brought Ikebe throughout the Northeast, into Canada, out to the Midwest, and back home to Brooklyn, the band is now working on their next album, with a new single due out in late summer.
