![[Introducing] – Drowner](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4057892_lg.jpg)
Tweet I've got to be honest, when I'm working through the inbox, one of the first things I like to check out is what bands influence the ones that contact us. Being an '80s kid into early indie/goth, bands like The Jesus And Mary Chain , The Cure and My Bloody Valentine tend to stoke my fire. Drowner were onto a good start from the off then, quoting two of those bands (The Cure and My [...]
The last time The Shins put out an album the following was still true: Heath Ledger was alive, the Emergency Stabilization Act was an absurdity resting in the comfortably distant future, and Aaron Rodgers had not played a single game as the Packer's starting QB. The year was 2007, the album was the successful but underrated Wincing the Night Away . We haven't heard much from the band in the five years since (with the exception of Broken Bells - James Mercer's collaboration with Danger Mouse) so the upcoming Port of Morrow is something of an occasion for us [...]
Following last year's deluxe reissue package , the Jesus and Mary Chain have announced their first shows since 2008. Unfortunately for us Brits they are US only dates so far. Their mysterious and enigmatic spokesman Kevin Smythe describes it as the band " dipping their toes in the water again." As well as William and Jim Reid the Mary Chain line-up will include ex Lush bassist Phil King and The VPME's chum and former member John Moore. Will Bobby Gillespie return on drums? Probably not.... We asked John how long this had [...]

Los integrantes de The Jesus and Mary Chain hicieron una especie de regreso en el 2007, cuando fueron anunciados para presentarse en la edición de Coachella Music Festival de ese año. Pero a partir de ahí, los hermanos Jim y William Reid, junto con el resto de los integrantes de la banda, solo se han presentado de forma esporádica. Aunque en el 2008 lanzaron un box set de rarezas, no ha surgido material nuevo. Puede ser que pronto las cosas cambien, después del anuncio de su próxima reunión para presentarse en un festival de música. Se [...]
It's been almost five years since we've seen The Jesus and Mary Chain on stage here in the States. However, as BrooklynVegan reports , the Scotland post-punk rockers are set to return in March for a few dates, including stops in Texas at the 35 Denton Festival and South by Southwest . The appearances will support the band's previously announced in-depth series of reissues. Full details on each of the six reissues are currently available on the band's official site . Check out the ample list of dates below, including a [...]
New material from The Jesus And Mary Chain has been some of the most anticipated music of the past many years, particularly since the group last reunited to play Coachella in 2007 and the sporadic dates that followed for the next couple years. But, the band has been inactive since 2009... until now! Yes, The Jesus And Mary Chain have been announced to be playing the 35 Denton music festival, taking place from March 8th-11th, along with Built To Spill, The Mountain Goats, Atlas Sound, and many others. Then, it is reported that the Scottish group will hit [...]

Why does every band these days with a reverb pedal and penchant for black leather jackets get compared to the Jesus & Mary Chain? Because the brothers Reid paved the way for them with 1985's Psy... Continue reading "The Jesus and Mary Chain Added to 35 Denton" >

Keep Shelly In Athens es un dúo que lleva ya un par de años haciendo shoegaze, y es hasta ahora que parecen comenzar a hacerse de un nombre en distintos blogs de música. Ahora hicieron un cover del clásico de The Jesus And Mary Chain , " Just Like Honey " (también conocida como "la de Lost In Translation "). Tengo que admitir que no soy fanática de las vocalistas, y los primeros 3 minutos de la canción me parecieron de lo más melosos, pero el final no está [...]
