Ian said the band wanted to announce the reformation the day after the UK riots.

I was first informed days ago that a Goldenvoice insider was quoted as saying, “we’re working on getting them for Coachella”. Then this morning The Sun ran this article and NME followed up with this article. Elbow’s Guy Garvey has also confirmed the reunion, with a source telling the paper: “Guy was talking to friends about how the original line-up had been rehearsing over the summer in Manchester.” San Francisco band Moonbeams reminds one of My Bloody Valentine or The Horrors along with other bands mentioned on Alternapop in the past year: Whirr, Weekend, The Soft Moon, Young Prisms.

He then moved to Montreal where he started writing and producing electronic music on his own as Under Electric Light. After the release of his first EP (Untitled, 2002), he decided to sing over his instrumental pop songs and released the Never See The Light EP (2005), the Blue EP (2006) and the After the Blue EP (2007). In his music, Danny is trying to blend his various influences such as New Order, The Beach Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Kraftwerk and Slowdive to achieve a truly personal sound, focusing on melodies and arrangements to create well crafted pop songs. Waiting For The Rain To Fall is the first album of Under Electric Light. It has been released in Japan in February 2011 on Fastcut Records and received great reviews in influential Japanese music magazines such as Rockinʼ On and Cross Beat. The album has just been self released in North America and is available worldwide on iTunes, Bandcamp, Big Cartel and Amazon. Recommended if you like: Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Beach Boys Vinyl Williams is a one-person project by Lionel Williams that has had several members (namely Bryan Lee on drums) and has toured throughout the USA. The musical style is usually referred to as psychedelic and ambient – additionally, the music has a pseudo-scientific direction involving exploration of “sonic matrices,” combinations of sounds that affect dimensions of the body. These are enabled by frequency intersections, and when certain tones, chords, and patterns are composited to induce specific (and usually unpredictable) emotions, unexplainable feelings, expansions of the spirit etc. This is also crowned as such pseudonyms as “sound aura”, and “the retro spectrum”. Info: http://www.lionelwilliams.com/ Yuck, who hails from London, played two nights in a row this week at The Independent in San Francisco. They remind me of several 90s bands, many from Boston, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve never heard of any of them. The Blake Babies (with Juliana Hatfield), Fuzzy and a non Boston band, Elastica. Here is a track by Yuck called “Get Away”. In the mid-90s I caught this band called Fuzzy locally. It has a similar vibe and the guitars sound very similar. Listen to the tone of the solo around the 2:00 mark. The Treasure Island Music Festival lineup is official (October 15-16, 2011): Saturday: Sunday: recommended if you like: Death Cab For Cutie, The Long Winters, Young The Giant, Jimmy Eat World |
