Music and acting
Shivers produced the first single for the band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. The B-side to that single, "Having an Average Weekend", became the theme to the television show The Kids in the Hall. He also produced the band's next two albums.
He also played guitar in the instrumental rock band Sharkskin. After a series of moves, he ended up in New York City, where he joined The Dave Rave Conspiracy, playing guitar for them. During this time, he appeared in the movies Empire Records and Johnny Mnemonic. He also made cameo appearances in Smut and Dirty Love. He continued playing music, eventually gathering a back-up band to create and record his first solo album on Mutiny Records, the self-titled Coyote Shivers with the assistance of Billy Ficca (Richard Hell, Television) and Jack Pedler on drums.
He toured as a member of the opening act for KISS, during their reunion tour. He released several limited edition CD singles and the five-song CD 1/2 A Rock & Roll Record shortly afterward. He also appeared in the movies Down And Out With The Dolls directed by Kurt Voss, and Girl In 3D directed by Luis Aira.[1] He also made a string of cameo appearances in films playing "himself" and released the double CD Coyote Shivers Gives It To Ya. Twice.
