Shape Pitaki was founded in 2012 by Shane Thompson and Greg Johnson. After playing in multiple bands and projects, the duo started to switch things up by having Thompson step forward from the drums as lead singer/songwriter/guitarist. With Johnson taking lead guitar/vocals, Brett Peloquin on bass, and Carlen Walth on Rhodes piano/Hammond B3/guitar/lap steel the group took to recording their full-length "Lonely This Is". Through a couple rotations of members, the band has found its focus as a trio with Mike Willson on drums. After playing multiple venues all over Southern California, the band released a music video for "Can't Go Home" from their recent EP "Let's Get Gnarly & Chill". 2017 promises to be a big year with SXSW and a fall tour!
