The trio busked the streets of Glasgow, but then found a record contract with Virgin. Debut album Skin 'Em Up was followed by an EP recorded with skiffle star Lonnie Donegan, a prime rock & roll influence during the 1950s in England (and owner of the hit "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor [On the Bedpost Overnight]?"). Shakin' Pyramids recorded one more album for Virgin, Celts & Cobras, but the energy and verve of their debut had been replaced by a stultifying maturity, and the group disbanded soon after. ~ John Bush
