Shangri-la Projects has been cranking out amazing Memphis (and other!) music since 1989. Since then, we have released over 40 records, cds, books, and documentary films as well the only travel guide to Memphis you’ll ever need, Kreature Comforts Lowlife Guide to Memphis.

All Shangri-la Projects releases must meet rigid industry standards in the studio before ever hitting the ears of you, the general public. We do not have a schedule or a quota to release so many units a year. We are not encumbered to deliver a certain amount to our distributors each quarter. We have no affiliation with a major label that demands a certain number of hits a month. We have the luxury of sitting back and waiting until a release so splendid and divine hits our ears that we end up doing cartwheels on the front porch and into the yard, nearly crushing the barn animals at our feet. And you, dear listener, are the beneficiary of said patience.

All of our releases are therefore guaranteed to be of the highest quality. Thank you for taking the time to listen and then purchase. Enjoy. The Mgmt.

For our international customers: Prices include shipping in U.S. only. For overseas orders, inquire about shipping expenses.




Shangri-la Projects is pleased as pudding to release this beautiful collection of trippy pop from the heart and soul of Tim Regan.  Multi-instrumentalist Regan has played with Sparklehorse, Oh No! Oh My!, Hank Williams’ granddaughter, and Memphis’ Snowglobe.  On Generous Gambler, Regan expands his musical pedigree and, you dear listener, are the beneficiary of some of the best semi-electricchamber pop you will ever hear!

Order Antenna Shoes Generous Gambler cd for only $12.00 before the official April Fools day 2008 release and receive the Memphis Pops 7” with a track each from Antenna Shoes, Vending Machine, VivaL’AmericanDeathRayMusic, & the Carbonas (while supplies last!) at no extra cost!
