Lots of good stuff on this thread too:

New(ish) Shoegaze(ish)

May Kasahara recommended this over on the new albums thread, and it is indeed really good:

Relevant to this thread, I think. Fine lineup for this:



I'd gladly watch the top 4 and bdrmm. Anyone going?

I'm definitely looking into going, although hotels are expensive up there that weekend (due to a Pink gig I am told). It's a superb line up.

Another one for the, 'dunno if it counts as shoegaze but who cares because it's great' category:

 

[SpookyFrank]

Tokyo Shoegazer. A shoegaze band, from Tokyo.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I reckon this counts as well...



I understand they went on to sell quite a few records after they did this one.

 

[Oriole]

Would Camera Obscura and Butcher Boy come under shoegazy or are they too poppy?

Also if we have Ride on there, should Drop Nineteen make the list too?

Billy Corgan is so tedious though.

Billy Corgan is so tedious though.

He's a world class tosspot alright, but he can make a fuzz pedal sing like a choir.

 

[stavros]

How about dance-shoegaze, with Ulrich Schnauss?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Dammit, was beaten to Ulrich Schnauss. I was thinking of this one.

 

[AverageJoe]

Hmm. Maybe I got it wrong.

I'm looking for Shoegaze but more that sounds like this.



And this.



And especially this.

Deffo try Godspeed You Black Emperor and Sigur Ros then.

 

[cloudyday]

broadening it out a bit..

Experimental Aircraft are well worth a listen:



Less trad-shoegaze but a great live clip:



Also Bowery Electric are worth checking out if you've not heard them

Might be pushing the boundary a bit (definitely more post-rock than shoegaze!) but God is an Astronaut might also float your boat...

More old but seminal:



More new stuff:

 

[The39thStep]
