The 'revivalists' in my mind are far more interesting, as they aknowledge MBV's basic format (catchy tunes hidden beneath layered, intense instrumentation) without shamelessly imitating it.

Who started this thread again?See what happens?

LittlePuppetBoy · 08.29.2006, 04:25 PM

MBV are amazing. Except every time I've mentioned them to some random person, they expect them to be an "emo" band, based on the name.

Cantankerous · 08.29.2006, 04:26 PM

i used to really not like them but now i love them for some reason.

nicfit · 08.29.2006, 04:39 PM

you're in love,catankey (argh) ,that's why you like them now.possibly maybe.

DemonBox · 08.29.2006, 05:15 PM

I like MBV. Only got Loveless yet, but I think it's awsome. You should check out Serena Maneesh if you are in search for more shoegaze, nobody have metioned them, but they are really good. Check em' out: http://www.serena-maneesh.com/news.php

i can't who is more awful, serena maneesh or m83?

right now, my money is in m83, those guys (guy?) are the most boring music without it being new age, i mean, kenny g can kick their asses.

DemonBox · 08.29.2006, 05:31 PM

You dont like Serena Maneesh? Well, you should have seen them live, I'm sure you would have a different opinion.

doctor dan · 08.30.2006, 06:30 AM

m83 were far better before the newest album came out, that was a bit crap. still, dead cities red seas and whatever it was called was an astounding album, and run into flowers a fantastic song.

touch me i'm sick · 08.30.2006, 10:39 AM

wow i had never heard anyone compare m83 to mbv. that doesn't even make sense because they are so different and MBV is so much greater. i prefer loveless to isn't anything because it gives a certain flow to the music when you can't understand what they are saying

nicfit · 08.30.2006, 11:48 AM

actually in a way i think giant drag are a poppish version of MBV, and this sentence marks the start of my rep's fall.

edit:i do love MBV,but i do not listen to tham that much,this is the reason why i never got into the "shoegaze" genre,but loveless is a great album,and actually isn't anything could be my fav,it "sounds" better in my ears/brain.

king_buzzo · 08.30.2006, 12:50 PM

i like them

does that not make the term "shoegazer" semi-innappropriate. i know "shoegazer as a genre for sound, but i think to a certain degree the band should have stage-fright.

kingcoffee · 08.30.2006, 04:05 PM

It's too bad MBV broke up. They were one of my favorite bands for a time. (Still are, really). They had such a great, unique sound. Soft, melodic pop surrounded by droning noise and feedback. Utter genius.

Umm. Technically they haven't broken up. They just haven't done anything.

DemonBox · 08.30.2006, 04:09 PM

Does that mean k-krack, that every band that you put in the shoegazer-category should suck live? Well okay then, if that does not make Serena Maneesh a "proper" shoegaze band, I really don't care. What matters to me is that they put on a great fucking show live.

It was a joke. Get it? Shoe gaze? Like they stare at their shoes and are real nervous.

Haha, yeah, I got it.

Everyneurotic · 08.30.2006, 05:32 PM

the swirlies are fucking awesome.

LNC · 08.31.2006, 05:24 AM

ENDLESS thread with four bands that are being mentioned all the time; mbv, slowdive, ride & swirlies. Sure, they are classic shoegaze, but catherine wheel (fermant!!!) and kitchens of distinction (death of cool!!!) are equally great. Then: pale saints, ar kane, th' faith healers, telescopes, lilys, cranes, curve, ect.
