Wow! Hadn't heard the term "shoegaze" since my 40-year-old son turned 20 and played with a "grunge" band. The music, if you want to call it that, was quite similar, very loud, lots of wild, distorted guitar runs and the vocals consisted of screaming obscenities to the mic with a demonic sounding voice. After a year of playing grunge, producing a couple albums, he cleaned up his act, married a young, beautiful gal, bought a house, and now plays on rare occasions when some of his old band buddies drop by for a cold one. I still have his albums, but they've only been played once--can't stand the music!

Good Luck on putting a band together,

Gary
