So What?

Le Shok was a synthpunk band from Long Beach, California, USA. The band was made up of members of various other punk bands from the area and existed from 1997 until early 2001, releasing numerous 7" records, one full-length, and touring the US twice. Le Shok formed in 1997 by Asshole Andrew from Treadwell , Joey Juvenile from The Locust , and singer Hot Rod Todd. After hearing a rehearsal tape, Darryl Licht from Action League joined the band on... keyboards, and Over the Counter Rusty joined as the bassist. The band released four 7" records on various labels, and in 2000, Gold Standard Laboratories released the band's sole album, We Are Electrocution, and the band went on a nationwide tour of the United States. Shitty Shaan, who had filled-in for Darryl at shows he couldn't make, was eventually brought on full-time as a second guitarist, until Darryl left the band for good and Shaan switched to keyboards. Material recorded while the band was still a six-piece found its way onto various vinyl releases.
