Apparently the White Ghost Shivers decided to play a little joke on their adoring fans on Sunday, by declaring their performance at Stubb’s the group’s final show.
An email from the band explains:
“The Shivers wanted me to pass along their sincere apologies for any news reports they made you flub or any heartbreak they caused with their “Last Show” jest… Happy April Fools! “Shivers last show? Not in your wildest dreams! They just wanted to give their second-favorite holiday a kick in the pants and remind people how much fun (or trouble) April Fools’ jokes can be. “In case you weren’t at Stubbs on April 1 to catch the show, they wrote song just for the occasion called “Sick of Your S***” which featured never-on-vocals (for a reason) sax/clarinet player John Doyle and bass player Mike Poppitt along with the rest of the Shivers singing about their post-WGS plans: everything from basketball to Broadway to bluegrass. Hilarious!”
So, for all of those wondering, the band is not finished. In fact, they’re playing The Mohawk on Thursday evening.
Party on, Wayne
