REVOLUTION - The Shoegaze Revival ✶INTRODUCTION || JAGUWAR✶

Hey Shoegaze People,

Today there's a new blog series starting. For the next weeks I will constantely inform you about a very amazing project. Maybe you already heared about the compilation: REVOLUTION - The Shoegaze Revival by Ear to Ear Records and the indonesian label Gerpfast Kolektif.
The idea is to present a part of the 'new wave' shoegaze scene with 30 Bands from 16 countries from 5 continents. You won't here any cover versions of famous Shoegaze bands. Instead you will be able to listen to a modern version of Shoegaze with innovative new sounds, energy and passion.
The Compilation will be released on 11th of february 2015 via Ear to Ear Records and Gerpfast Kolektif Bandcamp.

DKFM created a video trailer for the compilation.

1. JAGUWAR (Germany) 

Three people fell in love over noisy soundscapes and purple stars. Influenced by too many coffee and cigarettes while listening to My Bloody Valentine Vinyls in the dark they put together fuzzy reverb guitars with punk rock attitude.

In June 2014 the first EP 'I' came out to show the world how sugar noise can be. It was released on June 13, 2014 via Pinmusik - Pretty In Noise Netlabel.

Shoegaze around the world: Germany

Hey Lovers,


After the huge success of the last Shoegaze around the word special about France I decided to do another one. Because of the current situation which means that several german bands just released new material I picked the country I live in myself. I hope you enjoy and please comment below which special you want to read next.

So let's begin with my own band most of you guys already heared of. It's called JAGUWAR and we also just released our long-worked-on EP with the name 'I' via Pinmusik. After we changed our bandname in 2012 we had a pretty hard time. As more we are excited to be able to present you the 4 tracks. There's an other release coming this year so you can stay excited! 




An other band from Berlin released their new album just last week. THE HISTORY OF COLOUR TV released 'When Shapes Of Split Blood Spelt Love' via Saint Marie Records and it's just awesome. This band surprised me many times. They are minimalistic but at the same time they create a wall of sound you can't resist. You can get all their records on vinyl (when not sold out).




So let's stay in Berlin for a second. I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM named themselves after a Sci-Fi Story from 1967 and play a very cool mix of post punk and shoegaze. Their sound is great and I love them even more because they released their 's/t EP' on tape! I hope their is more coming soon. 




Berlin might not be a beautiful city from the outside, however it's very colourfull on the inside. Some other good friends located there are THIS LOVE IS DEADLY. It became a little bit quiet around them this year. But I guess they'll come back with a big bang. So watch out for them. I fell in love with their gorgeous debut album in 2012. Modern Shoegaze at it's best!  




Next we take a ride to Leipzig to check out a band called DIN MARTIN. In a way they are more of a post-rock band. They have a groovy rhythm crew and play with dynamic song structure. However sometimes their sound is more shoegaze influenced. That's why I included them here. 'Cause most of the time I don't give a shit about genre borders! We are all one big family!



Next we take a ride to Baden-Württemberg to meet up with the kings and queens of Wall Of Sound. THE LOST RIVERS are loud and they are Rock'n'Roll. No compromises and always on the run they already played shows with Ceremony and The Telescopes. If you are a fan of A Place To Bury Strangers and Black Rebel Motorpsycho Club you will love the Lost Rivers!




Let's go to Hamburg and check out SEASURFER. A pretty new Band playing Dream Pop. They just released their debut album via Saint Marie Records and smashed everyone in the scene! Amazing. Straight. I immidiately fell in in love with their bright and wide sound.  




Then there's COME BACK HARRIET from Munich. They name their style of music 'Shoepop' and I pretty like the description. Nice lovely pop-songs with some cute little shoegaze guitars. You can hear the strong influence of Indie Rock bands like Dinosaur Jr or Superdrag. It's great. It also became very quiet around them and I hope they come back (as their name tells us) soon!




Before returning home we go to Dortmund and listen to SHORELINE IS. They released an album in 2012 called 'Deal Kindly' and it contains everything I love. It's dreamy, it's punk rock and it hase some great hooklines. I hope there's another release coming this year 'cause I'm sure they have the right potntial!




Back in Dresden I don't want to keep 2 very amazing bands from you. Many of you might know MALORY. They released their debut album in 2000. Their last release came out in 2010 and it's quiet around them ever since. I hope that this dream pop sensation won't stop doing their thing.




Last but not least: LUC STARGAZER. With their alternative wave sound they already amazed people several times on Wave Gotik Treffen. You definitely hear Robert Smith knocking on the back door. Check them out!


 

I hope you got an impression about some great Shoegaze Bands from Germany. If you like them, show them your love. There's a new Shoegaze around the world coming so don't forget to tell me which country should be up next!

Concert Review: The Foreign Resort at Wave Gotik Treffen 2014 (Altes Landratsamt)

I had the most awesome (but at the same time exhausting weekend) for a long time. I had much fun playing the first show with Jaguwar this year on friday night in our hometown Dresden. We have a new Drummer and he did a really good job. On saturday I hit the road and went to Hannover where my Roller Derby Team won against the lovely girls from Demolition Derby Dolls. I'm so proud of them, I can't describe it with words. 
But the most exciting part was travelling to Leipzig for Wave Gotik Treffen (WGT) with my boyfriend Lemmy. The guys of The Foreign Resort were inviting me kindly last week to come over and check out their show at Altes Landratsamt on monday. I was very happy that they thought of me just living like one hour from Leipzig. So we took the bus and enjoyed a nice (but insanely hot day in Leipzig).

The Foreign Resort just released their album 'New Frontiers' this year in february including the Single 'Alone'. I fell in love with the dark wave sound right away. That's why they became Band Of The Week on Shoegaze Love after a friend told me about this band sounding like a combination of The Cure in their times of 'Disintegration' and Joy Division with the difference that The Foreign Resort can actually play their instruments (I don't want to offend Joy Division Fans on this point I'm just not that excited about them as most people).



The more I was excited about the invitation. So after entering the dignifying venue The Foreign Resort already started their set. My first impression was that the sound is very clean but to little guitar. The drums and bass were kicking but the guitar was just anywhere but not where I wished it to be - right into my face. However the guys really got me with their very authentical presence on stage and some very good vocals by guitarist and singer Mikkel.
The samples harmonized very good with the whole cold wave sound and instantely give you this Depeche Mode feeling with the very tight and straight drumming. 
Third song of the set was the Single 'Alone' and I have to admit I was listening to the song all night and day since it came out. The perfect match of atmosphere, sound, vocals and lyrics. And they brought it on stage the same way. Just amazing. Unfortunately the sound guy didn't seem to notice that maybe some of the people in the audience are not deaf and want to actually here this lovely guitar line he's playing the whole song! Whatever.

We should start a gang.

After the show I had a little chat with the guys and they are as amazing as their music. 
So if you did not already heared about The Foreign Resort you should definetely check them out and buy all their merch and stuff. 

By the way: The last band of the evening had some car troubles and didn't make it to the venue so The Foreign Resort played a second set and this time we put ourselves directly in front of the stage right where the guitaramp was so we had an amazing ass-kicking sound. Right into the face!

Check out their great new album:



Berlin was our first show since december.
2 months without playing live. crazy.

And of course it happened that our drummer Chris got hit by the flu and wasn't able to play. Luckily Arian was there to rescue us and stood in.
Martin of DIN MARTIN (ny the way: a great band. I wrote a review about their latest album for Pretty In Noise lately. check it out here.)

When we arrived at Comet Club, TAMARYN were already soundchecking.
 

Turmzimmer / Übel & Gefährlich is a wonderful location.
I felt like a princess but without all this prince-rescue-me kind of stuff.
And I was really happy to have my girl Lisa by my side.

I had a lot of fun playing at turmzimmer.T
he sound was really good. (I even had reverb on my voice on stage. WTF!!)
Hope to play there again.


And TAMARYN were just amazing.
I missed them in Berlin because we were so busy with holding our stuff together and play tetris with our car.
However I made it in Hamburg and just loved it.
great performance / great sound / great whatever. stunning.
