SHOPLIFTERS UNITED
Formed in 1982, iconic British rock group The Smiths are regarded as one of the most influential and important groups to emerge from the 1980s. From the poetry of Morrissey’s lyricism to the inspired musicianship of Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce, their influence can be heard throughout popular music for decades since and yet their sound is still unique and timeless.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Shoplifters United bring to life the brilliant songs of legendary group The Smiths with an energetic live show and highly accurate sonic recreations of beloved album tracks and deep cuts.
Bizarre coincidence? Shoplifters United had their very first rehearsal on the same fateful day in September of 2022 as the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen was truly, and quite literally, dead and a humble Smiths tribute band was born. Shoplifters United are Pascal, Matt, Tommy, and James, a group of friends who share a love for the music of The Smiths. Great care has been taken to emulate the sound on those classic Smiths records down to every note and groove. Our hope is that when you go to a Shoplifters United show, you can close your eyes and imagine the year is 1984 and you are at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester.
Shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!

NYTE SKYE
Composer for commercials by day, Nyles Lannon has released several solo works earning numerous accolades, including Best Album of the Year from the San Francisco Bay Guardian and Best Folktronica Artist from SF Weekly. The Bay Area native spent much of the 00’s playing in the band Film School, and after a ten-year hiatus, reunited with the band in 2016. Skye Lannon has been drumming since age 6, after learning a basic beat from his dad (who’s “kind of terrible at drums,” Skye reveals). Within a few days, he was hooked on playing drums and lost interest in all his other hobbies. He graduates from 8th grade in June.
Filling out the band is Nichole Kreglow (guitar, synths and vocals) and bassist David Gould. Nichole has played in Nyles’ solo band since 2017.
