An old friend from Jackson Hole who also now lives in Brooklyn invited me to see this band the Shivers tonight at an old schoolhouse thats been converted into a loft - art space thing. After seeing Wilco play an amazing set in Central Park, visiting JHer Mike Brin and I headed back to BK for this show, only to show up late and only catch the last two songs. But it wasn't a total bust - in researching the band today I had one of those why-have-I-never-heard-this-fucking-song-before moments with this one:
The song is Beauty, off The Shivers debut record Charades from back in '04. I've had it on repeat all day, maybe cuz someone special decided to move to Ireland yesterday, maybe cuz its just a dam beautiful song about the things that songs discuss best.
this one ain't too shabby either:
The Shivers - Just Didn't Need To Know
With 6 releases under their belt, I'm looking forward to finding a few more gems from these guys.
they must me nuts to leave you.
