A Scottish neo-rockabilly quartet from the late '70s, Shakin' Pyramids originally formed around twin guitarists, James G. Creighton and Railroad Ken, with harmonica player Dave Duncan. The trio busked the streets of Glasgow, but then found a record contract with Virgin. Debut album Skin 'Em Up was followed by an EP recorded with skiffle star Lonnie Donegan, a prime rock & roll influence during the 1950s in England (and owner of the hit "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor [On the Bedpost Overnight]?"). Shakin' Pyramids recorded one more album for Virgin, Celts & Cobras, but the energy and verve of their debut had been replaced by a stultifying maturity, and the group disbanded soon after. ~ John Bush
