Shenaniganz is an Irish expression and means hoax/nonsense. But the four guys from beautiful upper Bavaria in Germany take their music serious. They play together since 2004. In 2006 they won the school band competition SchoolJam as the "Germany's best school band".

Their musical style is a fresh mix of rock'n'roll, garage rock and punk. The basis of their songs is the way of life of 16-19 years old students - enthusiastic, complicated and relaxed at the same time. The powerful sound of Shenaniganz hit the audience immediately. The band consists of George Raig (vocals, guitar), Daniel Rehbein (vocals, guitar), Tobay Reich (bass) and Dom Rehbein (drums). Musical influences are found in the Rolling Stones, Ramones or Led Zeppelin. In October 2007, Shenaniganz brought up their first album "Four Finger Fist Fight” under the guidance of manager Wolfgang Kerinnis. It was released by the label Silver Wolf Productions.
