The Shivers (New York City)

The Shivers is a musical group formed in 2001 in New York City, led by singer, primary songwriter and only consistent member Keith Zarriello.

[2] The album, CHARADES, released in October 2004 (produced by Zarriello and Brian "Boots" Factor) received little critical attention but began to develop The Shivers a following.

The track "Beauty" has gone on, in subsequent years, to receive good reviews on sites such as Pitchfork, who said Zarriello's voice carried a "mesmerizing eroticism", and was a subject of a column in The Guardian and Spin.

Back in New York City, Zarriello started performing again and sending CHARADES to college radio stations around the country.

At one station, Fordham University's WFUV, the album was discovered in the garbage can by young intern/DJ, Benham Jones, who reached out to Zarriello at a Tuesday night show at Arlene's Grocery.

The album featured William Martina on cello, Matthew Jahn on guitar, Benham Jones on bass, and Alex Saltz and Danny Fischer on drums.

Using money he had earned as a real estate agent, Zarriello hooked up with engineer Dan Hewitt and the band recorded the album Beaks To The Moon in four days at the now defunct LoHo Studios on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

The band used their own funds from day jobs and donations from their following decided to record their next album at all analog studio, Analogue Catalogue[7] outside of Manchester, England.

Musician and label owner Johnny Lynch The Pictish Trail from Scotland had discovered In The Morning and decided to release More on his Fence Records[9] in the UK in September 2011.

[10] Schornikow has also continued her own career alongside her work with the band, and undertook a small club tour of the U.K with New Yorker Scott Rudd in the summer of 2012.
