I don't think makeup was that unusual at that time - 1998 was peak glam revival - Velvet Goldmine was in theatres, Marilyn Manson was doing it.<br /><br />Great memories of great times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272189862816947855.post-23117719112711393032019-03-24T12:17:55.737-06:002019-03-24T12:17:55.737-06:00It was only right they had big egos because SHiVER...It was only right they had big egos because SHiVER was THE best band EVER!! I don’t care what anyone says otherwise. <br />I was a teen going to the all ages shows at Republik!

I hope you've grown into a better man, than that.<br /><br />I'm sorry our music offended you to the point of vandalism, I wonder what my new stuff will make you do? Jesus, for the safety of others I'll just keep it to my self.<br /><br />Thanks for this... It brought back many great memories. I loved playing in the Calgary music scene, even we weren't as navel gazing as most of the 'don't like us too much or we'll re-form into a side project' bands that seemed to populate my old stomping ground.<br /><br />Calgary is an interesting city. I have made friends with and maintain friendships with some of the coolest fucking people I will ever know. We're all mom's and dad's, husbands and wives now but back in the day... man that was a time.<br /><br />Anyway, I can't believe you found this, digitized it and even better RELEASED it. I'm sorry if we didn't leave a bigger, more impressive, less narcissistic impression on you. I can assure you, we're decent human beings :) <br /><br />Thanks for this.<br /><br />Former SHiVER Front Man<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Matthew Currie Holmeshttp://www.canthe5survive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272189862816947855.post-58909670496355399652011-12-28T11:45:58.660-07:002011-12-28T11:45:58.660-07:00I remember defacing their flyers to read "Shi...I remember defacing their flyers to read "Shitter".
