    The new King Gizzard album is even better than the singles let off - currently sitting as my album of the year so far

    Just discovered these guys - they've got some real punk spirit in them with some pretty hilarious lyrics (some pretty impressive guitar skills at times, too)

    Because it's about time I confused some more people with this



    Turns out the Chipmunks are actually Bauhaus

    Love this thread!

    Only just found out that my favourite Shoegaze band, Lush have reformed. Unbelievable!, how did I miss this, and why did nobody tell me?! I have just about everything they ever released back in the 90s, including all the CD singles and EPs. And now there's a new EP out, which I absolutely have to have, yesterday if possible...



    I'm actually feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment...

    @Megii Good to see all the old Shoegazers getting back together

    Lush reforming was nearly as exciting as Ride!

    Have you heard DIIV? Definitely the same kind of thing going on

    It is good to see the original Shoegazers getting back together absolutely - I've always felt it was a movement that could have lasted a bit longer - for me it seemed to get pushed aside by Britpop a bit too soon. Lush is more exciting than Ride for me @Moss , although granted Ride reforming is massive also - I guess it's just that I was an obsessive Lush fan at the time, whereas Ride, although I was aware of them, is more a band I learnt to appreciate later on. I still am an obsessive Lush fan in fact - there's just something I really connect with about that band - I felt it the first time I heard them, and that's never gone away.

    Yes, I did discover DIIV recently, I think just while exploring on Youtube, and indeed I really love the music, so good call there.

    What a band Yak are - played for 45 minutes at mental volume with no stopping at all

    I urge everyone here to check them out

    Saw Maiians at Common People in Oxford yesterday - left the show feeling like I'd just seen someone very special.

    Sounded like Mogwai doing a dance performance and were utterly stunning

    Maybe a little left field compared to most of the stuff on here

    Bombino - excellent desert rock, his backstory is tragic and really worth a read

    Easily one of the most impressive musical works in a very long time

    King Tears Bat Trip:




    I normally hate free jazz but I love this.  The tribal drums and dissonant melody make the track.

    I always thought that Serena Maneesh were unfairly overlooked.


    ..and this one from The Ecstacy Of St Theresa used to get played on the Chillout Zone back in the early/mid 90s


    ..and an old one from Airiel:

    My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall.
    I said maybe.....

  • I saw Ringo Deathstarr supporting Smashing Pumpkins at Brixton Academy a few years ago. I hope they're still going strong, they're fantastic.
