Posts: 5900 (10/30/2006 13:58) Faith Healer Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Remove this ad when i first got into pop music, shoegazing was big. Me and my friends would hang out, gazing at our shoes, discussing the latest echo devices, in the night, we had flanged dreams. Soon after, it had disappeared in its own dark brooding maelstrom. It was really over when Lush released "Lovelife". The day shoegazer died. I'm pleased to see many many bands have taken it up again. THE MEETING PLACES. Shiny, metallic - are these guys from America?!?? THE ENGINEERS - put the bombastic back into shoe music. i want more, any ideas? Senseless working overtime Fandorin Music Fandorin Files

Check out the song Paragon on the Audio page of their site. Their first album is to be released soon. I lucked out getting an advance copy and it is good. www.fjordrowboat.com/ www.myspace.com/fjordrowboat Check out Besnyo from Buffalo, N.Y. as well. www.besnyo.com/ BTW, The Meeting Places are great!

These guys even tell TC are an influence.... For lovers of the more atmospheric tracks, plus some heavy echo guitar. Senseless working overtime Fandorin Music Fandorin Files

Stef , you've got to listen to M83's Before the Dawn Heals Us. They're not shoegazing per se but that album had a heavy shoegaze influence. It was one of the best albums of 2005 imo

Their newsletter is always packed with fresh new ways to blow your credit card...just listening to the mp3 samples on their welcome page causes my wallet to curl up and cringe in the corner! Just received a new shipment last week, including re-issue of Malory's awesome debut (zey ar Cherman, Stefan!), and an EP by the Daysleepers who sound EXACTLY like Chapterhouse...a good thing in my book!

This is a lovely secret to restore your faith in this special genre as it's alive and well. It died? Goodness gracious young man, that made me sad to think. Thank Roger Anderson of Halcyon High and Vaportrail for the info!! www.coolwavessf.com

There is a short, positive review of their forthcoming album Save The Compliments For Morning at Chromewaves (Sunday Feb. 18 / 07 entry) as well as a link to an Mp3 entitled Carried Away. There's also a great background article about the band here. Perry Winkle ... on this fragile mortal plane.

I saw Asobi Seksu twice during the fall of 2006 and will be seeing them again here in Atlanta on March 19, as their live sound eclipses even their superb studio work. They're a friendly bunch of people as well. Deerhunter, a local Atlanta band, is another that fits well into the "shoegazer" category. Deerhunter's new album, Cryptograms, consists of recordings from two different one-day sessions. The first seven songs (first session) are the most shoegazer and remind me of Flying Saucer Attack combined with a bit of Mogwai. The final songs on the album from the second recording session combine the shoegazer sound with a pop sensibility similar to that on the first Velvet Underground album. Here's a link to Deerhunter's site on MySpace, where a few choice tracks are posted: www.myspace.com/deerhunter

The effects of MBV, the twee-pop loveliness of Lush, the power of early Pale Saints...what more could you want? I just listened to their debut for the first time, and it's a winner too. The retro-future is upon us! I really need a decent sig.

Got to meet and hang out w/them sans their drummer in Blackpool Nov of 2007 seeing the Verve, and got on like a house on fire. Some of the nicest dudes I've ever got to meet, highlight was going back to Verve guitarists Nick Mc Cabe's hotel bar and drinking for hours and talking music. At one point Nick even said "I wish I was in Exit Calm!", to which they replied "get the F out!!". Good no GREAT times! Plans are being made now for a US tour in the spring, if they come anywhere close to where you live GO and see them, AMAZING�band!!!

Ah, don't get it twisted mate, the Mighty Mac will be in full flight again coming this year with the Blackships. That's him and Simon Jones ex of the Verve along with Davide Rossi on Electirc Viloa and Mig Shillace on drums. With guests vocalists, one that is confirmed is Gregg Dulli from the Afgan Whigs. Their material was due to come out last year but real life got in the way and put it on hold til this year. Trust me, they will make the Verve seem like childs play!! Here is the first thing from them, they played on a remix of a Recoil classic, Strange Hours; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEimKFxIsFI And here is a track from their myspace, Blackships on Auto which is them jamming; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwocItSwyV4&feature=related Nick also played a one off show w/Damo Suzuki ex of Can last year.

Yeah, cool stuff! Good that they don´t feel like waiting 10 more years for Ashcroft to wake up from his meditation or something.
