Timeline
In the summer of 2018, Shelley issued the "Archive Project" which consisted of most of his recorded output as well as an accompanying collection of rare photographs.
Shelley continues to create new music and in July 2015 announced the creation of a "Book of Kills Single of the Month Club". Shelley released twelve compact disc e.p.'s over the next year. Most of the recordings on these singles were later compiled in a series of albums made available in 2017 and 2018.
A month later, Shelley created a new group called Fear + Whiskey with bassist/vocalist Amy Bugg and drummer Jeff Lown (later replaced by Zack Simpson) that attempted to blend elements of country, folk, and old-time music with hard rock. That band apparently folded in the spring of 2013 after playing a dozen or so shows over the course of three years.
Shelley revealed in mid-2013 that he was practicing on occasion with former Book Of Kills members Casey and Jane Firkin, and George Nipe III with the intention of playing one or two (and possibly more) live shows. This group of musicians, along with drummer Pablo Olivieri of Shagwüf, had by the end of 2013 indeed played three well-received gigs, though by early 2014 they had disbanded without notice. Shelley has since made only two live appearances including one in late 2017 as Book of Kills with George Nipe III and drummer Garfield Banks.
In 2012, Shelley published his autobiography, The Ballad Of Jim Shelley: My Life As A Failed Rock Star.
Early in 2010, Shelley disclosed on the "official" band web page, bookofkills.com, that he was disbanding Book Of Kills for the foreseeable future, if not for good. A month later, on March 13, 2010, the group (at that moment featuring Shelley, bassist George Nipe and drummer Mike Hicks) performed one final time at the Little Grill Collective in Harrisonburg, Virginia, the venue where the initial version of BOK had delivered their debut show in 1994.
Since 1994, Shelley has performed sporadically on the East Coast, mostly in or near his home town of Bridgewater, Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley, with various rock bands, including Book Of Proles (2005), agitprop The Karl Rove (2005-2006), The Plague Dogs (2008), Fear + Whiskey (2010-2013), and most notably the stylistically diverse Book Of Kills, the "live" version of which has featured a series of constantly changing line-ups from 1994 through 2019.
Shelley is a self-taught composer, producer, audio engineer, and guitarist, and plays other instruments as needed. He is a prolific writer, having released more than 500 songs on over forty records, most of them since 1989. He played a prominent role in the so-called lo-fi movement of the 1990s and early 2000s.
In 1986, he took a teaching and coaching position at Harrisonburg High School in Harrisonburg High School. It was here that he met Dustin Bugg and Brian Temples, who would comprise the rhythm section for the initial version of Book of Kills.
Jim Shelley is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, writer, painter, and former high school teacher. Since the release of his first album, 12 Songs in 1983, Shelley has usually recorded his albums in his home studio on a four or eight track tape machine, more often than not performing all the instrumental and vocal parts himself, though in recent years he has employed a full band on a number of occasions. Shelley's music encompasses elements of everything from first-wave Britpop, '60s garage rock, folk and country to punk, hard rock and metal to electronica to sound collage and extreme noise.
