Quivers

Quivers, a guitar pop act whose lyric-driven songs have a jangly edge, bring their music to The Victoria in Birmingham, with Shauna Boyle also named on the bill. The concert is a pop, rock and indie night.

Quivers make lyric-driven guitar pop with a jangly, slightly distorted sound. The US label Merge signed the band for its third release, Oyster Cuts. In 2024 the band toured Australia, Europe and North America, both on their own and alongside the indie band Superchunk, and recorded a second studio performance for KEXP in Seattle. After a break, the project has moved to a louder trio line-up. Shauna Boyle plays drums and sings, and is also a member of Cable Ties, while Thomas Skalicky plays bass and sings, and is also a member of Little Island.

The next material includes a new 7-inch single on Merge, featuring the song "Bottle The Nervous" and a cover of "Drive Somewhere" by The Vulgar Boatmen, first released in 1989. The band has also announced further national and international touring.

The Victoria is a Birmingham venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners who follow guitar-based indie pop and the bands connected to that scene.
