loveless fest: slow crush, dharmacide...

Shoegaze is more of a different and personal way of understanding music.

Next Saturday 24th October, Loveless, a shoegaze festival, or something like that, lands at the Sala Upload in Barcelona. Because, is shoegaze a music style? Probably not, it's more of a different and personal way of understanding music. Never mind, four friends who share tastes and a passion for music thought. "We have to put on a festival with the artists we like," we all agreed: no sooner said than done.

People started talking about shoegaze in the nineties, through the British press, with a certain ironic edge, around musical proposals as different and complementary as My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Spacemen 3, Ride, Seefeel or Lush. Today it is more present than ever, with new artists from all over the world reviving and renewing it. Shoegaze, however, is only the starting point for Loveless, which encompasses different approaches to this universe: from dream pop to psych, via grunge, post-punk or electronica. We like the noise.
