Shoegaze

[haute femme]

a.t., I get shivers just watching the videos, even though they're such a small fraction of what the experience must have been like. Wish I knew someone else who enjoyed them (besides an ex ) so I'd have a reason to buy tickets and fly somewhere.. Thanks for posting!

nyc, one of the best bands in the world,
and good company if i do say so myself.

 

[dorien]

saw them on Monday.

man, were they LOUD!!!!!

but yeah, they completely rocked it.

only complain i have, is that they didn't play
what you want & sometimes.

i love those songs!!!!

but yeah, after the concert we bumped into Drew Barrymore.
never quite liked her films, but knowing that she likes shoegaze,
she is in my cool book now.

 

[haute femme]

^how cool, on both accounts!! I knew I liked that Drew Barrymore..

but yeah, I'd have wanted to see those two songs too.

So jealous of all you MBV seers. It excites me to hear about the concert experiences though.

^ I think I love you for this..

Has anyone seen the Coachella line-up? MBV on the last night!!!! I would seriously consider flying there just for this... but then again, I don't know if I could handle it. My head might explode.

MBV is in Dallas (2 hours from me) this Wednesday... I feel like I have to be there, even if my boyfriend doesn't go with me.

I just don't know if I'll ever be able to see them again! Is there anyone who was planning on being there??.. (haha fat chance)

 

[dorien]

if i was still living in Houston, i would definitely go.
although austin would probably be closer to me.

been picking up some new bands that i hope you guys like.

I'm kind of worried about losing hearing but the ears will probably just feel weird for a while after the show temporarily eh? Did you guys wear earplugs? (heard they passed them out for many shows)

Either way, I'm excited, and there are two guys coming with me!! I don't even want to have more than one or two drinks tomorrow night so I can have a very memorable experience haha.

Does anyone here like Thee Heavenly Music Association?

I especially like their song Angelic Disorder.

Took some photos if anyone's interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiebaggett/sets/72157617215267934/

I'm still left speechless from how powerful the performance was. (And my ears are totally muffled)

 

[dorien]

i wore ear plugs when i went and it still wasn't enough.


but they still put on a great show.

now, if only slowdive would get back together and tour.

who is supposed to be touring the states this summer is
Amusement Parks on Fire

shoegaze with umph!!!

 

[matthaeus123]

I love Shoegazing.
Especially Swervedriver. They're borderline shoegazing though

 

[ad041715]

Does anyone like M83?
Their very shoegaze.

I love their song "Kim & Jessie". It's definitely one of their hits.

 

[dorien]

anyone in the NYC area want to form a shoegaze band....?

my band broke up, not shoegaze but that is where i was trying to take it, and now i am looking for people to start something with or join an existing band

i'm a guitarist that also plays keys and bass.
i suck at the drums....

 

[saturnine]

^ did you ever find anyone dorien?

you sound lovely and whimsical, pity I'm not in NY, I'd love to shoegaze with you

 

[Ryan Riverz]

Deerhunter

Tis' a fairly new band, they call themselves "ambient punk" but many people consider them to be some form of shoegaze.

 

[megalomania]

The pains of being pure at heart (mentioned above) with Higher than the stars from their new CD. It's superawesome.
