My Bloody Valentine MUSIC
My Bloody Valentine

It's been 17 years since this game-changing avant-rock four-piece played here; yes, most reunions blow, but My Bloody Valentine's return to the live circuit has been cracking fans' and critics' domes. Valentine leader Kevin Shields devises the most otherworldly, sensual guitar tones since Jimi Hendrix and has crafted at least three dozen songs that thrillingly resolve rock's beautiful melody/strident noise dichotomy. Come worship one of rock's loudest innovators. With Brightblack Morning Light. (WaMu Theater, 800 Occidental Ave S, 628-0888. 8 pm, $38.50, all ages.) by Dave Segal

Can't wait. I was a bit too young during their first go around and by the time I'd gotten into them seriously they'd already been "on hiatus" for a few years.

How is it they have been around for 17 years and yet I have only recently heard of them?
I am sure I'm not the only one.
Around 17 years yet most of their promo pics look like their 10? Something just does not add up here. Maybe they started performing as toddlers.
I would bet they don't even have any good dance mixes?

They've still never done better than their twee "Sunny Sundae Smile".

Max @2, the earplugs will help during most of it, but during the takeoff in the middle of "You Made Me Realise", your best bet is to take them out and plug with your fingers. Deep. Maybe shooter protectors or those ones the airport tarmac workers wear would work, but fingers-in has got to be the safest. It does end eventually.

Have fun, Seattle. I can confirm my ears bled when I saw them at first ave in Mpls in the early 90's (maybe '92?). Earplugs and fingers both did not help much...
