Tim Shell is from Knoxville, Tennesse , USA. and when he wrote these songs, he simply used the name Shell. Why this name? It's the name of the lead singer and guitarist, but it's also about sea shells, exo, tough coverings, etc. Mother of pearl? Do you play live? We're still in the process of building a live act where we plan to tour the Southeast, mostly. It ain't easy, dude. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Tim Shell is from Knoxville, Tennesse , USA. and when he wrote these songs, he simply used the name Shell. Why this name? It's the name of the lead singer and guitarist, but it's also about sea shells, exo, tough coverings, etc. Mother of pearl? Do you play live? We're still in the process of building a live act where we plan to tour the Southeast, mostly. It ain't easy, dude. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? Well, we hope we can count on fan support. We'd love to be able to give all our music away, but hey, we need cash for food and fuel and wax and sunscreen, just like everybody else. If you dig our tunes and want us to be able to make more, toss a few Sacagaweas our way once in a while, fair enough? Would you sign a record contract with a major label? Sure. If we could find an A&R rep who really understood our marketing angle, we'd love to talk about it. Your influences? The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, of course, are big influences. Daytonas, Standells, Jan & Dean. Fountains of Wayne, these days, though they're not "surf" per se. Anybody with sweet harmonies. We're trying to take '60s surf and make it more contemporary sounding. Favorite spot? Pismo Dunes on a cool fall night. Presently the song list consists of Big Big Summer She Runs Both available for free download at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=14888
