Shake Ray Turbine was an American DIY rock/punk band from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. They formed in the summer of 1995 and played their first show that August with Richard Matson as vocalist. The band toured and recorded from 1996-1998. As of late 1998, Shake Ray Turbine had material for their second full-length album (with several songs reaching the 7-14 minute marks), but none of these songs were ever recorded; their last show as Arkansas residents was with Fugazi in Conway, AR in November 1998. The band relocated to Philadelphia around January 1999; soon after, Dustin Clark left the band and Jeb Bell (Fracture) took over on bass.
