The Return of MBV
As the alt-pop-indie scene continues its regurgitation of the musical past, it's only natural that it embrace the slow, syrupy sounds of shoegazer rock. It's with great interest and not a little trepidation that audiophiles everywhere got all a-twitter when it was announced that seminal shoegazers My Bloody Valentine are not only recording a new album, but are also touring for the first time in 16 years. MBV reunion pro: Awesome, boundary-breaking music played live with the original bandmembers. Con: Frontman Kevin Shields already called it quits once due to some sort of breakdown -- here's to hoping he doesn't Sly Stone on us.
Consider it the Russian roulette of the cardigan-wearing crowd. The show is on Sept. 27 at the Aragon. Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. this Saturday through Ticketmaster.
