Red Shift

Red Shift

Red Shift has been played on NTS in shows including Jonny Mons, featured first on 26 October 2021. Songs played include Himalayas.

There are at least five artists with the name Red Shift:

1) an English folk band of the 1980s 2) a US trance duo 3) a US indie rock band 4) a US rock band. 5) a Canadian Minimal Synth group from Montreal from the 1980s

1) Red Shift were a political folk band formed in England in the 1980s and including such folk luminaries as Pete Coe and Gina Le Faux. They made their official debut at the Sidmouth Festival (Devon, England) in 1985.

John Adams joined Red Shift a few months after the group had started, replacing keyboard player Pat Knowles who had to drop out.

The first gigging line-up featured Paul Roberts on border pipes and this provided a powerful sound whilst forcing the band into the keys of Eflat and Bflat - a problem for melodeons! Paul and cello player Colin Wood left after the first year and ace northumbrian piper Dave Shaw joined in time for the first album Back In The Red.

Chris Coe joined after a while, playing hammer dulcimer and concertina. There are no studio recordings of this last line-up but some live recordings have apparently survived.

2) Red Shift is a US trance duo consisting of Bradley Harper and Darryl Windham

3) Red Shift was a late 90's indie rock band from Lakewood, Ohio featuring future members of Filmstrip and The Kyle Sowashes.

4) Red Shift is a US rock band from Red Hook, New York, formed in 2009 by a few kids with instruments and free time. They are self-described as being a rock and roll band, with influences ranging from The Replacements and Uncle Tupelo to Bruce Springsteen, REM and Jawbreaker .
