Biography
The Shivers formed in Brooklyn, NY in 2001. Keith Zarriello (guitar/vocals) has been the only permanent member of the band since their inception. Various lineups of the band have now produced four full albums, each reflective of the conditions the band found themselves in at the time. The Shivers most recently have evolved into a duo consisting of Zarriello and Jo Schornikow (piano/organ/vocals) who relocated from Australia in 2007 to the band permanently. Although performing and recording principally as a duo, the band occasionally performs as a trio with the addition of Alex Saltz (drums).
The band is gearing up for the release of In The Morning with a North American tour including multiple performances at SXSW. The Shivers are also completing a documentary about their previous tour and album, 2008’s critically acclaimed Beaks To The Moon. Beaks To The Moon includes the song "Feather" which is featured in the new Noah Baumbach produced movie Alexander the Last.
Amongst others, The Shivers have shared bills nationwide with: M. Ward, Architecture in Helsinki, Jaymay, Deer Tick, Xiu Xiu, David Bazan, The Beets, Suckers, Peter and the Wolf, Thao Nguyen & the Get Down Stay Down, Castanets, and performed at such venues & festivals as the Mercury Lounge, The Echo, Blender Theater, Rockwood Music Hall, NYU, Brown University, SXSW ‘07-‘09 & CMJ ’08.
