The Young Charlatans consisted of Rowland S. Howard and Ollie Olsen on guitar and vocals, Jeff Wegener on drums, and the late Janine Hall on bass. The group was formed by the end of 1977, after Rowland and Ollie found success in writing with each other and departed from their previous bands. They recorded the first (and second) version of "Shivers" as part of their unreleased demos in 1978. The group disbanded that year, having only played about 13 shows, and Rowland joined the Boys Next Door.
