 I make this one off return to UG to post in the ever faithful MBV thread, after discovering them 3 years ago, BenRaah and myself finally experienced them live. I love the Apollo in Hammersmith and the sound there was excellent. Le Volume Courbe were a little boring and finished at 8:30pm leaving a 45 min wait for MBV to arrive onstage at 9:15pm. The songs sound different in a live setting but you realize this is there true form. The set was pretty standard mix of songs from Loveless, Isnt Anything and the EP's and thankfully Only Tomorrow, New You and a closer of Wonder 2 if the 10 min YMMR wasnt enough for you. The Holocaust section is an experience, even though it was only 10 mins in length, it was just enough to make you forget what anything else sounds like. I'm glad I had some decent earplugs! MBV were everthing I wanted them to be and Bilinda at 51 is still looking pretty fine. I Only Said When You Sleep New You You Never Should Honey Power Cigarette in Your Bed Only Tomorrow Come in Alone Only Shallow Thorn Nothing Much to Lose To Here Knows When Slow Soon Feed Me With Your Kiss You Made Me Realise Wonder 2 |

Finally listening to m b v
It's amazing that after two decades that this band can still deliver such quality material. So far this album sounds like nostalgia, melancholy, an almost surreal, lucid pop from another perception of reality. MBV really know how to write NEW and interesting sounds. |

Gig was incredibly underwhelming. Never seen a band look more disinterested.

MBV still rules, and Bilinda only gets better with age. That is all.

Seriously? Colm and Debbie were both really into it in London. Kevin and Bilinda lived up to the shoegaze tag pretty well but that's exactly what I was expecting from them. |

I know music shouldn't be all about playing up to the stereotype, but I thought that was where the shoegaze name came from the sort of look down and let the music and visuals do the talking. |
