i did not want to belive it when i heard it but sadly they broke up first time i saw them was in the Feb of 2009 opening for Tokyo Police Club (another fav band) at the Black Cat in D.C. at firsti was like okay another band wheres TPC. But there was something about the Shakes that really caught me when i heard Sickos and the parts say “West Coast kids are oh so mello i only stand out like a sore thumb” i fell in love and once i heard Old Flames it only got better.Been a fan ever since and always will be glad i got to see them live before the break up.

I’m very far from NYC, writing from Brazil and I can tell you that I felt exactly the same when I first heard the refrain of Stricly Game. What a good band, can’t stop hearing it….so sad that they broke up.

If you live outside New York like me, this still means something!

While I’ll definitely miss the Harlem Shakes. All of the members are still making their own music. I just read an interview with Todd Goldstein about his current project ARMS: http://flavorwire.com/35978/exclusive-todd-goldstein-is-arms

Very sad. Loved the album and the band and never got a chance to see them live.

Dammit, the Harlem Shakes were a damn good band and as an enjoyable producer of music as I’ve heard.

Y Control is not, in fact, a Harlem Shakes cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at all…it’s Kendrick Strauch’s cover. Kendrick was the keyboardist of the band. He’s performing live at a benefit for Showpaper in Brooklyn on sept 26th

Excellent post. Hopefully the break up is short lived.

I’m from Texas and I am in the “That’s a damn shame” category.
