SHIVER
Based in San Francisco, this group recorded some tapes in 1972, which were finally released by Rockadelic in 2000. Five long jamming guitar cuts with screaming vocals on Fixer and Bone Shaker and an amazing track called Alpha Man, fifteen minutes of flowing west coast guitar leads combined with heavy rock riffs. Don Peck recounts the band's history.... His first real band was in Dallas in 1967 - The Hungry Freaks who adopted a heavy "badass" image and covered the likes of The Animals, Them, Stones and 13th Floor Elevators. When they split he joined the black R&B combo Les Watson and The Panthers who recorded on Ike Turner's Vesuvius label. 

He'd been flitting back and forth twixt Dallas and San Francisco, where his sister lived and in 1969 he decided to settle there. At the end of the year Shiver came together and over the next three or so years became a popular attraction, particularly with the biker fraternities. 

Vocalist Saluga was known for his short fuse and wasn't averse to using the metal arm appendage that gave him his nickname. As a result he was fired numerous times, whereupon Frank Twist would take up vocal duties. During their lifespan they also went under the names Pacific Thrust, Kid Courage, and Terry Saluga's Riff Raff...(Fuzz Acid & Flowers)

Shiver played psychedelic rock like many other bands from San Francisco in the flower power era of the late 1960s/early 1970s, but what differentiated them was their shear raw energy, making these acid rockers equally at home with the Haight hippy set and greasy redneck bikers. This album, recorded on a two-track recorder in 1972 with no overdubs, captures acid rock in its heyday, with crazed guitar solos, a wild rhythm section, and out-of-control screamed vocals. In fact, a more professional recording might have muted some of the vitality; what we get here sounds live and raw. "Tough as Nails" and "Bone Shaker" are full-throttled aggressive assaults, while "Interstellar Vision," and the lengthy "Alpha Man" slow things down slightly as the band soars into space for a far more psychedelic display of pyrotechnics. Certainly Shiver deserve to be rediscovered more than many of the other countless bands from that era whose releases are now being stuffed in the record store racks...(AllMusic)
