[1] The band were formed in 1984 by saxophonist Richard Underhill in collaboration with a variety of Toronto-area jazz musicians including Mike Murley, Dave Parker and Stich Wynston.

The Shuffle Demons featured a fusion of hard bop and rap combined with exotic costumes and a no-holds-barred performance style.

Underhill, Parker, White, Wynston, Koller and Milligan reformed the band in 2004, releasing a new greatest hits CD to coincide with their reunion tour.

During the tour, the band also coordinated a successful attempt at a world record for the largest number of people playing saxophone simultaneously.

The Shuffle Demons continue to tour and performed at festivals in India, China and Europe in 2006 and in Thailand, South Korea and the USA in 2010 with great success.
