Shake

Three members of the recently defunct Rezillos (Jo Callis, Simon Templar, Angel Paterson) stayed on Sire and carried on as Shake (or S.H.A.K.E.), releasing an unrecorded Rezillos tune "Culture Shock" as the main song on their debut 10" EP, a four song affair that nobody really bothered with. Two songs from the EP, "Culture Shock" and "Dream On" were extracted for a single which did nothing either. Troy Tate (ex-Index) joined after the first single and prior to the band's Peel Session in April. It was some time before the band's next outing, and 'Invasion Of The Gamma Men' met with the same lack of interest that befell the debut EP. After this Tate joined The Teardrop Explodes and Callis joined The Human League. And then, in 1981, 'Woah Yeah!' came out, credited to Jo Callis on the front cover and Jo Callis S.H.A.K.E. Project on the labels -it was presumably recorded in 1980 as it featured the same lineup as the 'Gamma Men' single. [SOURCE: PUNKY GIBBON]
