Curve were not a shoegaze band, Moose weren't either, Chapterhouse were considered garbage even then, and so were Cathrine Wheel. Good call on Bowery Electric, even though they aren't/weren't a shoegaze band either. The first three tracks on Souvalaki are really good but the rest of the album leaves quite a bit to be desired. As for the new breed, Lali Puna are a good band, not strictly shoegaze but they take inspiration from it and do some good things.
