About the artist

Shaki Tavi, the main project of Oklahoma-born, LA-based DIY lifer Leon Manson and a cadre of friends and commiserators. Their sound is a mix of shoegaze and noise rock through layered squalls of fuzzed-out guitars and overdriven drums, deceptively beautiful pop hooks, illuminated by Manson’s weathered, harmonized baritone and knack for inventive structures.
