EVENT RECAP – Shaimus Record Release Party

Last Wednesday evening, Starfish Creative Events had the pleasure of assisting our good friends –and fellow Boston Alums—from the awesome rock band SHAIMUS (http://www.shaimus.com/) launch their sophomore album with a release party at The Mint in Los Angeles.

The band packed the venue with music press, industry peeps, enthusiastic fans and long-time friends for an energetic evening of music and merriment.

Genevieve Lopez (http://www.myspace.com/genevievelopez) and Brian Titus opened for a jovial crowd, and eased in the night with an acoustic set of supple pop-folk melodies.
The band gave their fans an inside look into the musician life with a “Making Of” video chronicling what it took to produce their newest album, The Sad Thing Is, We Like it Here. They also showcased their newest music video of their catchiest song yet, “Turn the Other Way”.

Host Adam Kerpelman raffled off door prizes of coveted band merchandise before, finally, SHAIMUS took the stage. They played the entire album through and through, ending with an explosive encore performance of their hit song from Guitar Hero (and my personal favorite), “All of This”. The crowd went wild.

Featured drinks throughout the night included band member favorites – Jameson shots, Jager Bombs, Guiness pints, Appletinis and Coke with Ice. Can you tell which drink is who’s? Attending press included joystiq.com and Coin-Op TV, who reviewed the event on last Thursday’s webcast. Check it out here: http://www.thestream.tv/watch.php?v=1257
