Let's talk about shoegaze other than MBV. - Page 4

Dead-Air · 03.20.2008, 05:18 PM

A couple new bands with that influence who I like a whole lot:

Shalloboi from Chicago (Portland originally)

and

Joy Wants Eternity from Seattle

loveliescrushing. what a neat name.

Anyone wanna up some of this for me?

Ps - I'm guessing no.

Death & the Maiden · 03.20.2008, 08:27 PM

The Field Mice - Sensitive
I found it on a John Peel compilation that came with an Uncut magazine, and it's really good.

Death & the Maiden · 03.20.2008, 08:33 PM

Bailterspace is amazing. Though I prefer The Gordons, but they weren't as shoegazey.

gmku · 03.20.2008, 08:36 PM

I really like Ride's Nowhere.

I don't really think of Spacemen 3 as shoegaze. Too VU like.

Some early Birds sounds shoegaze-like, especially their debut, Mr. Tambourine Man. You might call it pre-shoegaze.

Very few bands did it well, I think. MBV, obviously. Ride, on the first album. I was into Sereena-Maneesh for a bit, but they basically copy MBV.

uhler · 03.20.2008, 10:34 PM

there was a time (about a month or two) where all i listened to was shoegaze. then i got bored and tired of almost all the bands. don't get me wrong, there are some great ones, but most of them are boring to me.

batreleaser · 03.20.2008, 10:36 PM

i almost think that mbv is way to diverse and sonically engrossing to ever be pigeonholed in a genre like shoegaze.

batreleaser · 03.20.2008, 10:38 PM

remember that neo shoegaze band serena maneesh?

me neither, because they made me and anyone else who heard them want to sleep for years

Revolver were pretty boring live, and their recordings were not "saturated" enough to seem like shoegazer to me. Darkside were great and totally underrated (All That Noise is one of the best LPs of the 90s if you ask me), but I see them as pretty much just psychedelia rather than shoegazer per se.
Medicine were a total MBV ripoff when I saw them, right down to the "song/40 minutes of airplane nose/reprise of song" thing MBV did.

i have never seen a video of them playing live or anything
but curve were brilliant in the studio. and toni was/is beautiful

I really didn't think shoegaze was that big outside of My Bloody Valentine, but it seems it is. The only other shoegazey band I listen to is Film School. Good stuff.

You made me spill coffee all over my trousers.

They were shit in the studio as well. It was just made abundantly clear in a live setting. If you can call a show that canned "live."

Savage Clone · 03.21.2008, 05:29 PM

Crap, you know what? That wasn't the bill.
I saw Lush and Ride in the Gala/Nowhere era, and yes, it was incredible. Ride particularly; that was one of the best shows I saw in the 1990s. I saw Slowdive and Ride the year after that, and it was also most memorable.
I think I saw Lush three times overall.
