My Bloody Valentine - The Early Years
This Dublin-born band didn't take long to establish itself as the cornerstone of a loose, largely media-built coalition of bands playing aggressive (and aggressively opaque) pop music that stood in direct opposition to both rockism and the twee bedsit romanticism of the pallid anti- rockists. But while most of the embryonic shoegazers maintained a tacit connection with pop tradition, My Bloody Valentine gradually transformed its lexicon via radical addition-by-subtraction: by the dawn of the '90s, the band had reinvented itself as a herald of sound as sacrament.

I've seen this band once, It was not a pleasant experience.
There is a live soundboard (?) show available recorded at The Commodore Ballroom in
Vancouver, CA. but the wall of noise/distortion wipes out any sign of vocals. It may as well be
a instrumental live recording of melodic chainsaws.
