San Francisco's Shiver

Basically San Francisco's Shiver Were A Bunch Of Hard-Rocking Hippie Freaks Brought Together By A Texas-Bred Drummer Who Moved To San Francisco To Take Up Where His Obvious Heroes Blue Cheer Left Off. They Soon Had A Rather Rough Tough Reputation Playing Haight Street Fairs And Hells Angels Biker Parties. At One Point They Even Had A Singer With An Iron Hook For A Hand Which He Could Use As A Slide For His Guitar Or For More Violent Purposes. Shiver Played "heavy Psychedelic Rock" At Its Most Primal -- No Overdubs Raw As Hell. Rising From The Same Scene Of Texas Freaks Like The 13th Floor Elevators Johnny Gee & The G Men And A Pre-ZZ Top Warlocks. In A City Known For Peace Love And Flower Power San Francisco's Shiver Was An Over The Top In Your Face Balls To The Wall 'gang' Of Musicians That Felt At Home With Hell´s Angels And Hippies Alike. Free Love Free Dope. Shiver Played A Lot Of Street Fairs On Haight Market And Castro Streets And Got To Jam With Guys From Big Brother Gurley & Albin And Other Local Heroes. read less
