Shaft Profile
Robert Cardy took a break from his art school capping revue past with The Axemen, and with his new band Shaft, released 'Downhill Racer’, a Beatles-ish nod to trolley races of yore from the Bob Frisbee-produced Pooty EP.
Shaft formed in 1992 when Cardy encountered guitarist John Segovia (AKA Rent Hamilton) in a gas station. Cardy was already working with fellow Axemen member Stu Kawowski (AKA Stuart Page, drums) and the band soon added Danny Mañetto on bass.
