Hello! Yes, Shack have played twice in the States! They played in NYC and
LA a few months ago.
Very unfortunately I missed their gig at The Mercury Lounge in NYC by about 3
days.
It's so hard to find out who is playing where and when sometimes.
Personally (for my taste) I feel that "Here's Tom With The Weather" was the
best cd of 2003! I played it incessantly for months and nothing moved me more.
