THE SHIVERS

Short-lived band The Shivers was formed in Melbourne in the late 80s with Wendy Morrison on vocals (ex-Loose Talk), Archie Larizza on bass (ex-The Innocents, The Saints), Dave Shaw on drums (ex-The Stems) Don Ely on lead guitar and Julian Mathews on guitar (ex-The Stems). Mushroom Records signed them up and they released an album 'Big Love' (1990) produced by Mark Moffat and a few singles. The band held down a residency at The Club in Collingwood and were very popular on the pub scene, but their record sales were poor which is a bit of mystery as their music was super catchy, infectious power pop of the highest order. Due to this lack of success, they disbanded. Wendy Morrison was the voice of the theme song for the very popular ABC TV series Seachange in the mid 90's. In 2019 the Off The Hip label released an album of unreleased tracks recorded between 1989 - 91 titled 'Power Pop'
