Mass Shivers Tickets

Mass Shivers is a Chicago-area psych-rock project led by guitarist/vocalist Brett Sova, known for sprawling instrumental passages and a blend of progressive rock and Krautrock influences. The band released three studio albums in the 2000s, each capturing a distinct phase of their exploratory sound. While press notes and reviews highlighted their activity through 2010, Mass Shivers is generally presented as inactive in later years. Here you’ll find a concise biography, highlights from their discography, and context on any potential touring activity.

Key credits include Pitchfork reviews for Ecstatic Eyes Glow Glossy and Contoured Heat, with noting of the band’s eventual hiatus around the release of Contoured Heat. The 2009 7" Torrid Sex In East Berlin (LR 003EP) offered a bridge between early releases and the later full-length work. For fans and newcomers alike, Mass Shivers represents a snapshot of mid-2000s American experimental rock, rooted in Chicago’s vibrant indie scene.
