The Blind Shake is a noise-rock trio from the Twin Cities consisting of brothers Jim and Mike Blaha and drummer Dave Roper.

The band is noteworthy for its use of a baritone guitar in place of a bass guitar, as well as intense, athletic live performances, which are often preceded by physical warm-ups and feature the group in matching track jackets.

In addition to acting as a stand-alone band, the Blind Shake has also acted as a backing band for, and collaborator with, Twin Cities avant-rock pioneer Michael Yonkers, playing with him on a full-length album and a split LP as Michael Yonkers with the Blind Shake.
