About

Sprawling psych-pop-folk collective polishes the jangle ‘n’ bash with hooks and harmonies to soothe the savage bohemian. The kind of thing that could be a good backdrop for bar-brawling fun… Dashes of harmonica, twittering keyboards, female backing vocals and a well-defined rhythm section… Sh! The Octopus pretty much incorporate all the successful dimensions of American pop.

Beginning as a solo project of singer/guitarist Randy Bishop in Detroit, Michigan, USA in July of 2003. Bishop recruited guitarist and former band mate Andy Stachowiak in late 2005. Drummer Joel Pearson and bassist Chris Sesta joined the project in the spring/summer of 2006. Vocalist/Keyboardist Marina Trejo joined July 2009. Christine Baxter and Gabe Downey also played important roles from 2007 to 2009.

The band maintains an official website at www.shtheoctopus.com.
