On today's episode I get into the history behind the indie/alt child-genre, Shoegaze. Taking with inspiration from post-punk 80s bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Shoegaze took off in the alternative scene in the early 90s, in the UK and Ireland. I chose some classic, first wave Shoegaze songs for the first portion of this episode, to situate ourselves with the vibez; and then give you some examples of contemporary Canadian Shoegaze artists for this SOCAN episode (an episode where we emphasize Canadian music!).Here's the info about upcoming shows, I've added some new stuff since the episode aired xoxoWeek 1:Friday Jan 28:Artists: Gone Sugar Die, Garden MiceLocation: Portside PubLink: https://www.vtixonline.com/gone-sugar-die--garden-mice-/2298/Saturday Jan 29:Artists: Dealers Choice, Vantablack, Floating ActorLocation: Portside PubLink: https://www.vtixonline.com/dealers-choice--vantablack-/2302/Saturday Jan 29:Artists: Curves, Pale NorthLocation: Red GateLink: https://redgate.at.org/Saturday Jan 29:Artists: Big Zen and Deejay Alex (Downlow Event #2)Location: Dolly DiscoLink: https://www.showpass.com/downlow-2/Sunday Jan 30:Artists: Macaulay Culkin Cover Band, Nuclear Disco, Sam Darkoh (The Virgin Art Show)Location: Creative BlockLink: No tickets or website but information can be found at any of the artists' instagrams, or organizers' instagrams (https://www.instagram.com/creativeblock136/, https://www.instagram.com/back.pocket.art/)Week 2:Thursday Feb 3:Artists: The Daveed Saband, Nuclear Disco, Eachothers Mothers (Concerts for a Cause - BC Floods)Location: Blarney StoneLink: https://www.vtixonline.com/concerts-for-a-cause-funds-for-bc-floods-volume-3/2276/Friday Feb 4:Artists: Raw Nerve Endings, Zoey LevenLocation: Portside PubLink: https://www.vtixonline.com/raw-nerve-endings--zoey-leven-/2303/Friday Feb 4:Artists: Mediaslaves, Paul is Dead, Lillian, WackLocation: 109 E HastingsLink: https://www.instagram.com/kodak_slide/Saturday Feb 5:Artists: Fear the Wolves, Nick Stone, Taylor Waters, Myles from HomeLocation: Portside PubLink: https://www.vtixonline.com/fear-the-wolves-with-special-guests-nick-stone--taylor-waters--myles-from-home-/2299/Saturday Feb 5:Artists: Definitely Not Aliens, Seashell Eyes, Ministry of Human Resources, Delusion BayLocation: Red GateLink: https://redgate.at.org/Saturday Feb 6:Artists: DJs: Ags, Paisley Eva, Turtle Dreams, Which Nancy; Drag: Diamonté, Maiden China, Skim; Lion Dance: AkimoLocation: Normie Corp via ZOOMLink: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/lunar-new-year-year-of-the-tiger-tickets-255678811207?utm_campaign=post_publish&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eventbrite&utm_content=shortLinkNewEmailThursday Feb 10:Artists: Nonarchy, No Gig ScheduledLocation: Koerner's PubLink: https://www.instagram.com/blankvinyl/Cocteau TwinsHeaven or Las VegasCherry-Coloured FunkMy Bloody ValentineLovelessOnly ShallowLushGalaSweetness and LightSlowdiveSouvlakiAlisonSleepy GonzalesSlow ApocalypseSlow ApocalypseTallies-No Dreams of FayresMesa LunaLashDispelThe Hope SlideThe Hope SlideThe Prince William SoundSiansphericSomniumWatch Me Fall
