Shoegaze
the best thing ever done by anybody ever:
Anybody going to My Bloody Valentine's reunion gigs later this year? Could anybody clue me up on any shoegaze-influenced US indie bands? early (and recent album) Brian Jonestown massacre I know about, and I guess early Apples in Stereo were a bit more noise-based? I love the way the whole multi-layered feedback distortion stuff was briefly a sort of nu-psychedelia movement of it's own... edit: ofcourse it all goes back to sonic youth but you know what i mean... |

Mudhoney also used to do a fairly decent cover version. It's on the b-side to some 12" I've got somewhere. I did find this (fairly rough) live version though... This whole shoegaze / noise revival thing makes me want to dig out my old Telescopes, Ride, Thee Hypnotics and Loop stuff... |

mudhoney, without wanting to be too crass, were the dog's bollocks! there was so much post-hardcore brilliance to be found in 80's north america. i met this guy through a friend who was on the whole Boston scene in the early 80's and he turned me onto alot of cool stuff. i think he was part of the whole Moving Targets circle.

There's a lot of amazing shoegaze going on in the US, and I think interest in this surprisingly versatile and important genre is growing at a fast pace:
A classic top tier shoegaze band: The Jesus and Mary Chain check out their seminal album Psychocandy Newer shoegazers A Place to Bury Strangers are an amazing Brooklyn based outfit. |
