There was a time when shoegaze was not shoegaze but “noisy pop”.When looking back at these 1990 – 1992 years, at the articles in the NME or Melody Maker, at the superb concerts we experienced starting with Ride’s wall of sound making us deaf for a few days, I measure how the word shoegaze is distorted and misused nowadays.When we look at what “noisy pop” was, well, there was just a handful of bands creating it and deserving the shoegaze label.First of all it all started with the beautiful The Jesus &amp; Mary Chain “Psychocandy” in 1985, we owe them the guitar distortions of shoegaze, and were they not the first also to gaze at their shoes in the literal sense, thus creating the word shoegaze?Then jumping in time My Bloody Valentine did revolutionise shoegaze again with “Isn’t anything” in 1988.Another version more “noisy pop”, more melodic, less radical was Ride’s album “Nowhere” in 1990.Strangely Ride in concert has perhaps been the most extreme in terms of wall of sound at the time, but still remaining so pop that Japan was welcoming them like if they were The Beatles, with overexcited fans waiting for them at the airport upon arrival!Then a few other magnificent new bands created altogether a wave of different shoegaze sounds in 1991 &amp; 1992, like Chapterhouse’s psychedelic shoegaze “Whirlpool”, Moose’s pure noisy pop “Sonny &amp; Sam”, Slowdive’s darker and a bit gothic “Blue Day”, Lush’s girl power and a bit Cocteau Twins influenced “Spooky”, Catherine Wheel’s pop rock shoegaze “Ferment”.I could add a few others like the beautiful “Everything’s alright forever” from The Boo Radleys, but shoegaze sound is definitively defined by these few cult bands from 1985 to 1992 indeed, that’s it.The funny thing is that shoegaze started as a pejorative word and except My Bloody Valentine most of the bands were criticised and even destroyed by the press, starting with the NME and Melody Maker that were the music reference of the times.AdvertisementSo when Slowdive came back twenty years later live at Primavera Festival Barcelona in front of tens of thousand persons liking and knowing their music what a revenge!Perhaps the new generation is smarter, one of my daughters in London was telling me recently that when she asked “wow, you are playing Slowdive” her friend answered “well, everyone knows Slowdive”.Perhaps the word shoegaze is misused or overused nowadays, but if this makes Slowdive live forever it’s ok! <img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/img_9100.jpg" alt="img_9100" height="auto" width="50%">

What Is Shoegaze

I’ve really been enjoying Apple Music’s “Discovery Station,” a blend of AI-driven suggestions based on my listening habits, mixed with human curation and light algorithms. But when I reflect on 2024 as a whole – musically – can I say anything truly positive? Sure, I could point out that an obscure Dutch techno/dark electro concert blew my mind and had me dancing like crazy. Or that a new American alt-rock band “90s style” was so phenomenal at Primavera Barcelona Festival that 10,000 people applauded them – at 6 PM, no less – and it almost brought me to tears. Tears not just for the band’s performance, but for that feeling of rock’s past glory, and the fact that even if Primavera slotted them early, the crowd knew. I even bought one vinyl record from 2024 – and it’s a 10.But that wouldn’t erase the underlying frustration.And trust me, I’ve tried. I have searched through every top 50 or top 100 list of my favorite magazines on albumoftheyear.org – whether rock, alternative, electro, or pop – but the search did not end well. No great “Your Old Droog”-style rap record. No minimal techno savior. No breakout alt-rock buzz (just old 90s bands returning or bad punk imitators). Pop? Let’s not even start – too much feels curated for retail stores, not living rooms or concerts.Maybe I’m spoiled. Being 18 in 1991 meant I experienced it all – Blur circa 1992 in front of 200 people, dancing to Nirvana in clubs six months before Nevermind breakthrough, and shoegaze blooming with Ride, Slowdive, and My Bloody Valentine’s best EPs. There are some gaps on my website, a few years with barely any records, but I guess I got used to being flooded with greatness. This is why 2024 feels like a letdown. I’m disappointed.But hey – I’ll keep going. AI, Apple Music’s “Discovery Station,” the strange backroads of non-mainstream new or old music – let’s see where it leads. And here’s to hoping 2025 pulls through.﻿<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/2024-music.jpeg" alt="2024 music" height="auto" width="50%">

Did AI Save Music This Year?

At Grauzone Goth &amp; Post-Punk Festival 2025 in The Hague (NL), I started my evening with Topographies—a great band blending Soft Cell, Joy Division, and Soft Moon vibes. It was a promising beginning. However, faced with a long queue and potential packed concert hall for attending Night in Athens, I headed to Anika’s concert in a larger hall. To be honest, when I listened to her work while going through the massive lineup of the four-day festival I wasn’t totally convinced. With not much expectations I went in and… came out completely surprised.Anika’s “Change” album, which I revisited afterward, is indeed good, but the live performance was on another level. From the start, everything fell into place: the beautifully lit concert hall, full but with enough space to dance freely, and the intimate vibe created by her and her drummer’s shy entrance. Between songs Anika spoke to us—sharing the struggles that inspired her music and reflecting on the darker state of the world. She captured the sentiment perfectly: “These are times to say no.” Even if your personal life is joyful, the growing claustrophobia and danger in the world make dark music feel like the only honest soundtrack. And dark it was.The opening song, “Finger Pies”, hit like a revelation. The spoken-words, reminiscent of Marianne Faithfull, combined with thunderous drumming did create something raw, powerful, and utterly hypnotic. Throughout the set, Anika alternated between moments of calm and heavy goth-rock anthems like “Naysayer”. At one point, I couldn’t help but think back to seeing Portishead at La Route du Rock in 2014 during their darkest era—it felt very similar, in the best possible way. And, as it turns out, there’s a reason for that: Anika has collaborated with Geoff Barrow of Portishead and is connected to Exploded View, a band that influenced the magnificent “Third” album of Portishead. It all made sense.Anika’s recorded work might benefit from an even darker, heavier edge, but live? She’s incredible. This performance embodied what Grauzone Festival is all about: discovering new sounds, diving into unexpected experiences, and embracing the darker side of music. <img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/anika.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%"> <img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/grauzone-2.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">

Anika, Grauzone Festival, Feb25

In The Hague (NL) winters are dark and cold, which is exactly what Grauzone Goth &amp; Post-punk Festival is about, dark and cold music.And in these times of political turbulence and a war at Europe’s doorstep, could there be a more fitting soundtrack? For me, though, goth and punk are not just seasonal or situational—they’ve been part of my life since the ’80s. So, living just a few blocks away from the festival’s main venue, Paard concert halls, in The Hague city center, feels like a dream.Grauzone owes much of its success to the incredible work of its director, Natasja , who year after year curates an exceptional program. The festival brings not only the best goth and post-punk bands from across the globe—Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, and beyond—but also includes films, exhibitions, and performances. It’s a multi-sensory experience that grows bigger and better each year, now for four days in place of three, and showcasing tens of bands across multiple stages.Fans travel from all over Europe to attend, and yet I’m consistently surprised that this festival doesn’t get the attention it deserves in major global music medias. Is it the music world’s best-kept secret? Or do we selfishly want to keep it that way?The Grauzone brand is instantly recognizable, with its stunning cat illustrations serving as a symbol of the festival. But what really sets it apart is the personal touch. Natasja’s dedication to connecting with artists is unmatched—flying to the US to meet bands like The Soft Moon’s Luis Vasquez, whom we heartbreakingly lost last year and paid tribute to at the festival. This level of commitment is what makes Grauzone so special.The festival draws a truly diverse crowd, from lifelong punk lovers like me, who’ve cherished the genre since the ’80s, to younger generations dancing wildly to acts like TR/ST during the last edition. Natasja and her partner even take the time to come on stage and speak to the audience daily, creating an intimate and inclusive atmosphere. Moments like walking in the street and watching Adult grab takeaway food backstage or sharing a cigarette with Clamm’s bass player make the experience even more memorable.Below, you’ll find a few of my favorite moments from the last three editions.Main venue, The Paard concert hall <img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/grauzone-3083738002-e1739271549470.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">Cats, Cats, Cats<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/grauzone-3.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%"><img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/img_7970.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%"><img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/grauzone-2.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">Lambrini Girls, back when they only had one song on Apple Music but were already absolutely killing it on stage<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/img_1717.jpg" height="auto" width="50%">Clamm delivers yet another pure post-punk moment, and honestly, they move so much it’s impossible to get anything but a blurry picture—ahah!Advertisement<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/img_1718.jpg" height="auto" width="50%">Ditz in a cave—so dark, so powerful, pure rage!<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/img_1730.jpg" height="auto" width="50%">Staadseinde—you don’t know them, neither did I—but they’re Dutch, and they completely blew our minds with their 80s-style dark dance music<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/img_7987.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">Anika, unexpected brilliant “Portishead style” concert<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/anika.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">Adult, dancing from start to finish, end-of-the-world music, perfectly in tunes with our times<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/adult.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">TR/ST, among the many unforgettable headliners over the years—like She Past Away, Drab Majesty, Boy Harsher, Lebanon Hanover, A Place to Bury Strangers, and so many othersAdvertisement<img src="https://concertandvinyl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/trst.jpeg" height="auto" width="50%">

Quando escutei os californianos Neutrals pela primeira vez, alguns meses atrás, pensei: ‘por que diabos essa banda escocesa que obviamente passa os dias escutando <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2019/12/11/television-personalities-and-dont-the-kids-just-love-it-1980/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Television Personalities</a>, <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2020/01/15/the-pastels-a-truckload-of-trouble-1986-1993-1993/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pastels</a>, <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2023/03/15/the-raincoats-the-raincoats-1979/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raincoats</a>, Wedding Present e afins diz que habita a Califórnia?’.
Obviamente movido pela eterna curiosidade musical fui ler algo sobre o ex-trio de garotos (hoje com Lauren Matsui no baixo/microfone ao lado do batera Phil Lantz e do guitarrista/vocalista/idealizador da parada Allan McNaughton) descobri a razão da minha dúvida: Allan, o cara com o puta sotaque É escocês. Fim do mistério.
Voltando ao Neutrals, eles residem sim em Oakland, de lá lançaram em 2019 seu primeiro disco cheio (Kebab disco, pelo ótimo selo Emotional Response) e em maio último a sempre esperta Slumberland Records pôs no mercado o novo álbum do grupo, este New town dream que roda por aqui agora.
Sabe as referências que citei ironicamente no primeiro parágrafo (incluindo os ‘afins’)? Distribua-as de forma desigual, com um peso MUITO maior na influência de Television Personalities – tanto musical quanto estetica e liricamente – e você tem a fórmula básica deste disco.
Punk/pós-punk/jangle rápido e grudento, feito pra se escutar alto sacudindo o corpo com uma cerveja na mão. É isso!

Quando formaram o Tangled Shoelaces no limiar dos anos 80 num pequeno subúrbio de Brisbane, na Austrália, os irmãos Stephen (guitarra/vocais), Lucy (teclados/vocais) e Martin Mackerras (baixo) tinham, respectivamente, 14, 11 e 10 anos de idade, e além de mal saberem tocar seus instrumentos não faziam ideia de quão foda eram.
Influenciados pelo punk e pós-punk que escutavam na rádio comunitária local (a 4ZZZ) os três pirralhos e o amigo da família Leigh Nelson (bateria) decidiram que, ao montar a banda, não seguiriam o caminho fácil das côveres e fariam música autoral. Imbuídos do espirito faça você mesmo começaram a gravar canções de forma independente e depois com o apoio de um professor que lhes cedeu seus próprios equipamentos; os tais registros se tornaram uma demo com seis músicas que chegou ao selo M Squared, que deu aos guris a oportunidade de gravar profissionalmente.
Após várias idas à Sidney para tal empreitada, entre uma apresentação e outra, finalmente o EP Falling objects veria a luz do dia em 1983, mas a M Squared fechou as portas e largou o Tangled Shoelaces por conta. Porém os irmãos Mackerras não desistiram e seguiram pelo rolê indie, que os levou – vejam bem – a abrir para Dead Kennedys e John Cooper Clarke.
Gravaram mais uma fita (In the land of the lollypop men), um par de canções para uma compilação de bandas da região e fizeram uma porção de shows até que em 1984 os meninos da família seguiram para tocar em outras bandas, Lucy decidiu se dedicar aos estudos e assim a curta história dos Shoelaces chegava ao fim.
Seguiram praticamente desconhecidos até que em 2021 a Chapter Music compilou tudo que a molecada gravou – incluindo material inédito – sob o nome Turn My Dial – The M Squared Recordings And More, 1981​-​84, com 22 faixas que atestam por a + b a afirmação que encerra o primeiro parágrafo deste texto: eles eram foda. Muito foda!
Pós-punk e new wave, experimentações com fitas, psicodelia e pop, um caldo musical que tem em sua mistura de <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2019/12/11/television-personalities-and-dont-the-kids-just-love-it-1980/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Television Personalities</a> a B-52’s, de <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2023/03/15/the-raincoats-the-raincoats-1979/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raincoats</a> a <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/tag/swell-maps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swell Maps</a> e <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/2020/03/11/chrome-alien-soundtracks-1978/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chrome</a>, tudo com um certo ar de inocência, afinal no fim das contas estamos falando de uma banda formada por crianças. Estranhas e muito á frente do seu tempo, mas ainda crianças.

Em 1992 o selo conterrâneo do quarteto RPM Records compilou tudo isso no álbum Time Considered As A Helix Of Semi-Precious Stones, e escutá-lo é atestar por a + b a afirmação do primeiro parágrafo.
Em cada uma das 19 faixas do disco – 18 delas vindas dos primeiros e essenciais trabalhos do grupo, mais uma versão para “Citadel”, dos Stones – Stephen Fellows, Andy Peake, Kevin Bacon (não aquele ator hahaha) e Mik Glaisher mostram porque, assim como o <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/tag/the-sound/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sound</a>, deveriam estar no ‘primeiro pelotão’ do pós-punk oitentista ao lado de <a href="https://pequenosclassicosperdidos.com.br/tag/echo-the-bunnymen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Echo</a> e outros igualmente bem conhecidos.
Mas como sabemos o mundo não é um lugar justo, então o que nos cabe é espalhar a palavra para que tesouros como este não permaneçam escondidos.
Ouça no talo!
