Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984
TOTALLY OBSCURE 80s!
“Shake It Right” is a 1984 single by the electronic duo Six Sed Red.
Keyboard player Rick Holliday founded the group from the group B-Movie and New York “singer” Cindy Ecstasy who had featured on the Soft Cell hit Torch in 1982. However, Marc Almond has since stated that her primary function was “the supply of ecstasy”. They had a big underground club hit with Shake It Right on the Label Sire Records Company in 1984 produced by Flood & Cabaret Voltaire.
Six Sed Red shared Soft Cell’s lyrical preoccupations with sleaze and sexual titillation but not their commercial success. Their only brush with the charts was the cover of their song “Dream Baby” on Bananarama’s self-titled LP in 1984.
The band played concerts at London’s Skin 2 fetish club and with the patronage of Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s Tony James expanded the lineup in 1987. Recognition however continued to elude them.
