Shake Ray Turbine was a DIY rock/punk band from Little Rock, Arkansas. They formed in the summer of 1995 and played their first show that August with Richard Matson as vocalist. The band toured and recorded from 1996-1998. As of late 1998, Shake Ray Turbine had material for their second full-length album (with several songs reaching the 7-14 minute marks), but none of these songs were ever recorded; their last show as Arkansas residents was with Fugazi in Conway, AR in November 1998. The band relocated to Philadelphia around January 1999; soon after, Dustin Clark left the band and Jeb Bell (Fracture) took over on bass.

This new lineup became The Unfixers and recorded an album at Philadelphia studio, Meat Locker. Soon after, they disbanded and the album remained unreleased. One track of that album, "Pace", was released on a File Thirteen Records compilation. They played their last show in Philadelphia around the end of 2000.

Ben Dickey's subsequent band Amen Booze Rooster recorded and released one of the unrecorded 1998 Shake Ray Turbine songs, "Lemon Ice Box Pie", on their 7" on Max Recordings and Hot Dog City Records in 2003.

Members have also played in the bands Amen Booze Rooster, Blood Feathers, Flip'n Sync, Soophie Nun Squad, William Martyr 17, Revolver Red, The Cannonballs, Hiram Ragan Experience, The Insides, Lazy Fair, The Earthworms, Hundred Years War, Heads Are Heavy, Fuse of Ire, Basil, Stoney Jacksons, Full Service Quartet, Sean Na Na, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Lapse, and Aspera.
