Shifted is a rock band from Nanaimo, BC, Canada who has recorded and is getting ready to release a CD; has performed for hundreds of people all over Vancouver Island (where they live); has opened for Flybanger and 54/40; and is waiting to be noticed by a record company.

Shifted started in October of 1999 when Dan approached John and asked him if he wanted to be in a band. For a few months only Dan and John jammed together and wrote their first few songs (well, Dan wrote and John played).

Shifted's first drummer was Aaron Laird (AKA Chico) but this didn't last very long. Kevin Clevette was the second drummer Shifted played with and this worked quite well; the only problem was having to share Kevin with his other band and, after playing a few gigs, it was decided that Kevin and Shifted would work better separately.

Chico came back to the band around March of 2000 and stayed with them until they broke up in June of 2000. In July, Dan and John decided to reform Shifted but this time with a new drummer: Booth.

With three highly dedicated members, Shifted now had no restraints and after only three weeks of jamming they were ready to start lining up gigs all over the island.

In July of 2001, Shifted decided to find a second guitarist in order to enhance its live performance and to further diversify its overall sound. A friend of the band, Nano, volunteered and thus Shifted had four members.

This time, after only two weeks of jamming, Shifted presented its fourth member and received only the best of feedback from the fans.
