oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god! Well, my day is shot. The recently-reformed My Bloody Valentine just announced a bunch of US tour dates. I won't be able to concentrate on anything else.
09-22 New York, NY - Roseland
09-23 New York, NY - Roseland
09-25 Toronto, Ontario - Ricoh
09-27 Chicago, IL - Aragon Ballroom
09-30 San Francisco, CA - The Concourse
10-01 Los Angeles, CA - Santa Monica Civic
10-02 Los Angeles, CA - Santa Monica Civic
I'll be at Roseland. Ticketbastard's only showing the 23rd right now, so it'll probably be that one. (Update: got my tix for the 22nd!)
For anyone who's not familiar, MBV is the original "shoegazer" band (the term was coined for them), but they're really more of an art-rock noise thing, although their last album, 1992's Loveless, is both pretty melodic and an outright classic. They never really broke up, either - they just haven't bothered doing anything together in about the last 16 years. I previously posted a couple of their videos in my Jazzmaster post - but here's another one. Its subject matter makes it pretty apt.
To Here Knows When:
"Come back again... to here knows when..."
This band changed my entire perception of music. Really, they changed my life.
Oh. Oh, oh oh! You are Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending the rest of my day feeling sick with jealousy!
I don't think My Bloody Valentine will be booking shows in Virginia. Who could blame them?
