I made a shoegaze starter pack. I think the images on the front are generated by number of followers... This is a very imperfect list, I'll probably forget to update it, if you don't want to be on it let me know! go.bsky.app/MAoEsCe
I love it. 🖤
It’s only been out 1 day, but how are you enjoying the new album ‘ARISE’ from HELICON x AL LOVER? If you haven’t listened yet… 🎧 👀 helicon-allover.lnk.to/arise

The Australian artist Clarice Beckett's posthumous reputation rests to a certain extent on her soft, grey-pink coastal scenes of Beaumaris in Melbourne, Australia; she learned the principles of tonal painting from her teacher Max Meldrum. This is from 1925.

The Saul Adamcewski Drone Orchestra gave a performance last night at St. Giles Church in Camberwell. Quite a few Fat White Family attending. Archie Stone Anthem and Glasán Glisten Trick were on the guitars...

NP: the latest EP by @middingband.bsky.social I have such a soft spot for this little band, but any band that references Skinny Puppy and Psychic TV, but then mixes it in with something so modern and drone/shoegazy, I'm going to love them. 🖤 middingband.bandcamp.com/album/44-ep

Tomorrow's gig is this, my first since December. Outrageous! I've been time challenged, rehearsing with two bands. 🙏 Becoming one with the drone (Drone Orchestra) and Jonny Halifax Invocation in a church setting is the cure...

A nice roundup of just a small amount of bands performing: as noted in the article, the size of the festival makes seeing every tipped band just an impossible proposition, much like Manchester Psych Fest. Good review of Mouth Ulcers there, fairly keen to see them...

NP: new track by My Precious Bunny, one half of Penelope Isles. There's almost a Solange feel to this track, that looping and rough edged hook, but the energy switch at the end will be of interest to guitar dream poppers... mypreciousbunny.bandcamp.com/album/a-mome...

I think this might be a real "sleeper" gig, Julie's Haircut are a band that you listen to and ask yourself "why are they not bigger?!"
Here's a cheeky little announcement for all Bluesky Followers 👀
Officially will be announcing on Wednesday but this double bill is mind-blowing 🤯🤯🤯

NP: latest by @jamesadrianbrown.bsky.social ... "Generator" I think he played live at Trades: the wide sonic tickling and explosive spectrum unfurling. He packs elements in while still giving them room to breathe, this makes his live shows so thrilling. jamesadrianbrown.bandcamp.com/album/foreve...

Looking for gigs for 2026. I can do my current thing (psychedelic modular synth + drum machine) but also happy to do more laid back/ambient/no drums sets if the event calls for it. Hit me up if you're interested!
