Anybody who has seen the Shim Sham Shufflers perform knows that they bring a special energy to the stage. I saw them open for Mark Mallman at the Hexagon Bar last year and was impressed by their witty use of costumes as well as fantastic dance moves. Then, about a month ago, I stumbled upon their performance at the Turf Club in St. Paul, MN.
For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to see the Shufflers live, I will explain what is going on.
Consisting of three ladies who, according to their mySpace page, are named, “Busty St. Claire”, “Chesty LaRue”, and “Hootie McBoob”, the Shim Sham Shufflers tap dance and flaunt their fabulous costumes to music that you would hear on Main Street in Disneyland.
The ladies regularly open up for established punk and indie rock bands such as Mark Mallman, Chambermaids, Huge Rat Attacks, and others. They are a delight to see and deserving of any artistic accolades that may be rained down upon them.
