Prisonshake was an indie rock group that originated in Cleveland, Ohio in 1986, founded by Robert Griffin and Scott Pickering. Their first offering, a box set titled I'm Really Fucked Now (1990), featured a combination of a CD, vinyl LP, cassette, and a 7" single, amounting to approximately three hours of music. The band followed up with the album Roaring Third in 1993 and, after a 15-year hiatus, released the double album Dirty Moons in August 2008. In December 1994, the band moved their base to St. Louis, Missouri when Griffin relocated. On September 20, 2008, Prisonshake performed as the headliner at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights, representing an important return to their hometown.
