Hey all, just logged in for the first time here. Glad there's an active shoegaze community online

I can't really call myself a shoegaze veteran since I've only been listening to it for.. about a year? It doesn't matter however, it might have grown to be my favourite genre already. I'd actually rather say I constantly switch between shoegaze and industrial (everything from darkwave to industrial rock to EBM to rhythmic noise)

Astrobrite is, hands down, my favourite shoegaze-related band, closely followed by MBV (of course), Slowdive, Medicine and a whole bunch of other bands.

For now I think I'll just spend some time lurking around. Nice to be here

My name is Jason, 28, live in Maryland right outside of DC. I got into shoegaze a few months ago (through investigating the genre after reading a desription of Deprication guild that mentioned the word shoegaze, and though Asobi Seksu (I tend to listen to most bands playing the venues in dc and Baltimore and fell in love with them after hearing them). I had heard the term before but never investigated it. I then found this site searching for what effects pedals to buy for my rig.

I am also into music in general. I love indie rock, EDM, Nerdcore rap, pretty much anything outside of mainstream country or pop.

I am also a musician. I have been releasing solo tracks and remixes under my alter-ego killsaly for a few years now.


(if you like my killsaly stuff, google killsaly to find more, or PM me and i will send links to my three albums.)

I also am in a band that has only been around for a few months, Merkava. It has been rough as of late, since the keyboard player/important songwriter keeps having to travel for months at a time for work. We havent really settled on a "style", but i am aiming for a combination of shoegaze, electronic music, and indie rock.

My other big vice is Anime/Manga. I love that stuff and spend way too much time and money on it.

Hello Everyone!

I am Kieran from Bristol based Shoegaze/Post-Rock band Light of Words (). We're releasing our next album "Those Left Behind" on Laser Ghost Records on 3rd October 2009.

We are label buddies with fellow Bristol shoegazers The Fauns, who are most excellent indeed.

I look forward to sharing everyone's insights on all things shoegaze!

Oh and if anyone is around on Thursday, we have a gig:
