Le Shok
Le Shok was an electropunk band from Long Beach, California, USA. The band was made up of members of various other punk bands from the area and existed from 1997 until early 2001, releasing numerous 7" records, one full-length, and touring the US twice.
Biography
Le Shok formed in 1997 (originally named The Shock) by Asshole Andrew from Treadwell (guitar), Joey Juvenile from The Locust (drums), and singer Hot Rod Todd.
After hearing a rehearsal tape, Darryl Licht from Action League joined the band on keyboards, and Over the Counter Rusty (also from Treadwell) joined as the bassist.
The band released four 7" records on various labels, and in 2000, Gold Standard Laboratories released the band's sole album, We Are Electrocution, and the band went on a nationwide tour of the United States.
Shitty Shaan, who had filled-in for Darryl at shows he couldn't make, was eventually brought on full-time as a second guitarist, until Darryl left the band for good and Shaan switched to keyboards. Material recorded while the band was still a six-piece found its way onto various vinyl releases.

TV In My Eye
by: Le Shokso you walk into my office
and you look just like me
we were wearin' next to nothin'
cuz we saw it on tv

there's a new family!
everything is so familiar
unto you and unto me
and we all know what to eat
and we all know what to wear
and we all know what to buy
got a tv in my eye
it's a simple operation
to this special point of view
and its hard to stop standin'
its the only thing to do

and we all know what to wear
and we all know what to buy
