Shimmy Rivers and and Canal
Shimmy Rivers were playing in the Utrophia project space long before I think they knew they were a band.
In fact, a manifestation of the Shim played at Utrophia's first ever opening party at the Engine House many moons ago.
I remember that they then had a cd with millions of tunes on it consisting of loads of different people and kinds of sounds, all of which stitched together to create a blanket of people living in an area at a certain time.
It was incredibly inspiring.
Shimmy changed and morphed shape loads of times but always had a raw trundling energy about them.
Like an indignant wriggling frantic child, bending and trying to destroy the very song they were playing.
Which is pretty darn exciting to watch.
