Snakes of Shake were a Scottish band formed in Glasgow in 1983 by Seori Burnette. Known for their indie pop sound with cajun and folk influences, the group's initial lineup included Seori Burnette (vocals, guitar, harp), Tzen Vermillion (guitar), Sandy Brown (piano, accordion), Robert Renfrew (bass guitar), and Rhod "Lefty" Burnette (drums). Their breakthrough came in February 1984 when they performed "We Have Got that Feeling" for The Tube at Queen's Dock, Glasgow. Their debut release, Southern Cross, came out in 1985. Vermillion and Rhod Burnette left the band, replaced by Neil Scott (guitar) and Iain Shedden (drums). In 1986, they re-released "Southern Cross" under the Making Waves label. Their second album, Gracelands and the Natural Wood, was also released in 1986. The band disbanded in 1987 when Making Waves went into receivership.
