Shy Boys are an American indie-pop band from Kansas City, Missouri, United States. The line-up consists of brothers Collin Rausch and Kyle Rausch, Konnor Ervin, Kyle Little, and Ross Brown.
The group formed shortly after the trio became roommates in 2012. Kyle Rausch and Ervin were already bandmates in the indie-pop band The ACBs and Collin had been playing for years in the Kansas City area in various bands. The three shared a love for 1960s era pop rock and soon started writing their own music.[1]
