Shoes - Boomerang + Shoes On Ice (1990)

Shoes is an American rock band formed in Zion, Illinois in 1974. The group's musical style is influenced by British Invasion groups of the 1960s and has often been described as "power pop". The original members were brothers John and Jeff Murphy, Gary Klebe and Skip Meyer.

Shoes formed their own record label, Black Vinyl Records in 1977, and later recorded three albums for Elektra Records. With the debut of MTV in August 1981, Shoes were one of the first groups to be shown on the music video channel.

The group also owned and operated their own recording studio, Short Order Recorder, from 1983 to 2004. Many other artists also recorded at the studio and some went on to sign major label recording contracts, including Local H and Material Issue.

Boomerang received 3 1/2 stars from Rolling Stone. Shoes on Ice is a 6-song live recording of a 1981 concert in Shoes' hometown of Zion, Illinois.
