History[edit]

Shaka Ponk is a Paris-based band that blends rock, electronic, punk rock, funk rock, and hip hop. Their live shows combine digital animation with an energetic display from the band members.

Shaka Ponk got its start between Paris and Berlin in 2005 from a concept that brings together music, imagery, and energy. The former web designer and frontman of the group, Frah, along with guitarist CC, came up with a project that combined conventional rock-n-roll elements (dirty guitar riffs and beats) with techniques such as VJing, which mixes sounds and images around an animated monkey character named Goz who is considered as much a part of the group as the other five members. Since then, the band has been active online creating videos and motion graphic work along their conceptual style, releasing videos on their online channel 'Monkey TV'.

The band released their debut album Loco Con Da Frenchy Talkin' in 2006 and followed up in 2009 with Bad Porn Movie Trax, under the French record label Tôt ou tard (Ben Howard, Patrick Watson). This album spawned the singles 'How We Kill Stars' and 'Do'.

Shaka Ponk performed in New York City for the first time in October 2009 in the celebrated CMJ Musical Festival and on November 7, AOL chose the track 'How We Kill Stars' as the Music Video of the Day. The band released Bad Porn Movie Trax in the United States on March 1, 2010.

In 2011 Shaka Ponk added a female vocalist, Samaha Sam, and released their album The Geeks and the Jerkin' Socks in June, 2011.
