IN A SHOEGAZE DAZE: A NIGHT WITH SLOWDIVE AT THE WARFIELD
The shoegaze renaissance is upon us and we can thank Slowdive for that.
Shoegaze is a genre of music popularized in the 1980s and 90s and is characterized by its use of distortion, guitar pedals and muddied vocals. Modern interpretations of shoegaze music could not exist without their experimental and revolutionary predecessor, Slowdive.
Slowdive is to shoegaze what Pixies were to alt-rock – true pioneers. Genre definers.
On Oct. 12, Slowdive lit up the stage at The Warfield in San Francisco and gave concert goers a truly unforgettable sonic experience.
From the first moment of the first song, ‘Shanty,’ The Warfield was transported to a completely different dimension. The synth-driven arpeggios resonated throughout the venue, leaving listeners in a trance.
