Because just when we need it most, a light appears on the horizon. Turbulence. A dressing gown.
De-somnia, delusia, Kylie on a motorbike.
Welcome to the world of The Sha Sha Shanimals. Formed out of turbulence and stupid f'kin chaos, the band is fronted by writer/artist Siân Pattenden (ex-100% Ponies), and joined by Louis Jones (ex-Warm Jets), Dan Farrow(ex-Oslo) and Camila de la Vega (top flight Argentinian drumming powerhouse). Together they make urgent, oddly euphoric noise-pop for a world on fire.
The band today announce their debut double A-side 7” single, ‘Dumb Contortion / Best Dressed Chicken in Town’, will be released on 2nd of September, 2025 via Agent Anonyme Records, an independent record label founded by Daphne Guinness.
To mark the release, The Sha Sha Shanimals are sharing the video for the lead single ‘Dumb Contortion’. Directed by Malcolm Powder, the video is a lo-fi, chaotic trip through static, glitter, and glorious weirdness.

THE PAST: 2024. Siân Pattenden had had enough, much of life was in pieces. So she did the only thing any reasonable person could do, she wrote songs and formed a band. Somehow, within months, The Sha Sha Shanimals found themselves at RAK Studios, mixing tracks and drinking coca cola. Hand-typed press release attached.
THE PRESENT ie NOW: The Sha Sha Shanimals really want you to HEAR the record. WRITE about it. PLAY it. Think about reality etc.
