Shimmy Rivers And And Canal
Shimmy Rivers And And Canal are a UK beat combo that was formed in Dalston, London in 2003.
In 2005 Resonance FM released a collection of demo recordings. The same year, the band played at Resonance FM’s 3rd Anniversary event at the Conway Hall, and in 2006–2007 hosted the station’s ‘Daddy Said So Land’ radio show, with live sessions, and interviews with Alexa Chung, Let’s Wrestle and Sonny Tufts.
Shimmy Rivers and and Canal disbanded in February 2009, playing a final gig at Barden’s Boudoir on February 27. The band released a 7″ record on the Siltbreeze record label in January 2009. Their debut album, Forks, recorded and mixed by Capitol K, was released in 2009.
Members of the band included Scout Niblett, and Koichi and Niiyan from Screaming Tea Party.
The band have recently reformed and are writing new material.
The most thoroughly “out there” rock band of the last decade, creators of “utterly timeless” music in the opinion of WFMU’s Dave Mandl.
“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.” Utrophia
“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.”

“Flurries of notes and clunky bridge nudge noise flutter around gracefully drunken descents, three dowager duchesses sliding down the banister in a rain of ripped confetti.” Stewart Lee, Sunday Times 2011
