Written by the legendary 16-year-old Rowland S. Howard, 'Shivers' is a punk rock masterpiece, and Nick Cave's electrifying rendition at the Anzac Day concert was nothing short of spectacular. This song isn’t just music; it’s a rebellion, a cry from the depths of youthful passion that rocked the crowd. The energy was unreal when the encore hit and Cave paid his poignant tribute to his former bandmate from The Boys Next Door. Hearing 'Shivers' live was a dream I never thought would come true, turning the night into an epic, unforgettable blast of pure musical joy
