Shades Gang

The Shades Gang is an animation group, founded on the 28th of september, 2007. It was founded by LampShades, and the groups other founding members and early leaders were Axe Shades, Nova Shades, Pizza Shades, Lavalamp Shades and Fire Shades. The other founding members of the group were Ninja Shades, Tiki Shades, Circle Shades, Tesseract Shades, Cherry Shades, Death Shades, Error Shades, Pirate Shades, Golden Shades, Cake Shades, Milk Shades, Viking Shades, and many more were added later on.
many of those members were former Clock Crew and Lock Legion members.
==History==
The first Shades Gang submission was "SG - Long Intro", which featured and was made by CD Shades and Lamp Shades. 
After that point, a very skilled animator joined the SG, Axe Shades. his drawings of the early SG members and his well0animated movies with the nicely drawn characters formed the backbone of the group and shaped it during its early years of development, in around 2007-2010.
Some of Axe Shades early SG movies are: "SG That Was My Wife"
"SG weapons store"
"SG by the way death shades" and many more.
Later, in early 2008, the founder of the SG, LampShades got trolled by random members of the CC and LL, attacking his forums and sending him hatemail.
This resulted in him wanting to shut down SG initially, and created an anti group, the Hades, as a rival group to the Shades Gang, if the latter would remain active by the other admins of the group.
After a short rivarly between the two sides of the group, Nova Shades took over the power in the old SG forums, he united all the SG members together and he created a new forum+website for the SG on his own, the www.shadesgang.com domain, which he bought and administered.
Under Nova Shades leadership, the SG did its best movies, collabs and multiple art projects in newgrounds. This period was considered the golden era for the SG.
Sadly, on late 2009, early 2010 Nova Shades disappeared, and the group remained without its passionate leader, pushing it into a stagnation and a fall in 2012, and it got revived briefly after that on 2016, they celebrated the groups 10th anniversary on 2017 and it later collapsed again on 2019 due to a slow approach by some of its members, with the next revival of the group happening on 2022.
