"Shine is a classic stripped down new wave tense type, who sounds a good deal like 1977-1979 Elvis Costello when he was spitting hard into microphones and front rows." —The Big Takeover Helmed by Seattle-based musician Ari Rosenschein (STAHV, The Royal Oui, Ari Shine), Look Sharp Aim True is an acoustic tribute celebrating the golden age of witty, melodic new wave and pub rock. This stripped-down show channels influential first-wave icons, including Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Squeeze, and Nick Lowe, highlighting the wit, range, and craft of their timeless songs. Look Sharp Aim True shows are a rollicking good time, packed with audience sing-alongs, energy, and nostalgia. Rosenschein, a multi-instrumentalist with a two-time Grammy shortlist nod and a diverse background in power pop, psychedelia, and Americana, brings his seasoned sensibilities to Look Sharp Aim True. His touring history includes supporting Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), John Doe (X), Rhett Miller, Wreckless Eric, Lene Lovich, Liam Finn, Mike Peters (The Alarm), Redd Kross, Silversun Pickups, and Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers).
