THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN - 02 Academy, Bristol, 29th March, 2017I’m not really the biggest JAMC fan which may surprise or even anger whoever is reading this. They are a good band yes, but in terms of Shoegazing, I see them more as proto-gaze. They have noisy fuzz mixed with calm vocal melody but not much else in my opinion. The thing is, they don’t have enough modulaltion effects or the look to be classed as Shoegaze to me. They are more 80′s goth than 90′s curtain haired Shoegazers. A good band nonetheless, that’s why I went to see them.It was a good gig, I thought it would be much louder though, especially when they played the ‘Psychocandy’ stuff and it was also dampened by the fact that I was getting a telling off from security ever minute just for filming and taking pictures because it’s “02 rules” apparently. So, I stick a massive two fingers up at 02, corporate bullshit firm bollocks. -- source link
