I never took the music press seriously about anything.

2) .....The bands were Spacemen 3, The Valentines, Pale Saints, Loop, and Lush. I really wanted the Loop so I bidded high on that one and won eventially. The rest I placed $40 bids on and lost them all. ....When I recieved the item it was a cassette "live at the union tavern 89" that some individual personally recorded for themself. They also made a pretty good quality laminated paper artwork inlay for the cover. I image saved the other bands to my H-drive in case I lost. They too were from 89.

1) .....I had "gala" on cassette tape 20 years ago (I still have it actually). The place where I made the purchase is no longer there. It was the best place in town as it was known for it's vast selection of bootlegs. Unfortunately they were busted by the FEDs in 96 or so, and went under. Anyhow, I've since updated to CD about 2 or 3 years back, and cost me $25 for mint condition. ....Some guy on ebay had a boot-assortment of early shoegaze era bands he picked up at a flee-market in Ireland.....

[gibbonduder182]

when in 90 was this? i used to watch Rapido all the time and would definately remember having seen this.

[julosx]

I've read somewhere it was shot in October 1990.

@gibbonduder182 This would have been around 1990. You can tell by Miki's and Emma's beautiful hair. Plus, Steve is still in the band. Maybe even late 1989, but I think it's 1990.

[gibbonduder182]

@fatcatbuzz ah, probably when i might not have had access to a tv all the time then ;-) makes sense

[fatcatbuzz]

@gibbonduder182 The funny thing is that I wouldn't have much access to cable back then either. I was only a teenager then. I can just tell by the video quality. That's when you know you actually grew up back then. hahaha. But, wasn't music great back then. I mean, there is stuff coming out today that is mind blowing, but there is something special about those days I think.

[Blastbarnacle]

Great interview. They appear so level-headed, too.

[pinacoladanz]

Great band, they were so influential. Thanks for posting this!

[kool4ever]

shit this vid...time really does fly...

[julosx]

Oh, I just wanna cross the screen and hug them

[Circa7]

@julosx and stay there... .wish i was 19 in 1990... =(

[PanosDCC]

@Circa7 I wasn' t even born in 1990... I was born in 1991 basically... But there isn't a single day that I miss all the great bands of that era. Lush, Slowdive, Ride, MBV, Chapterhouse... I come close to tears right now actually, hearing to "Thoughtforms"... Anyway, hope we get the time machine sometime before we die...

[lincbond442]

@PanosDCC I know what you mean. I was 20 in 1990 and I really miss those days. I got to see them live in Sept 1996. It was one of the last shows they ever did, about 1 month before Chris' tragic loss. Their music had a truly special quality. Glad to know that younger people appreciate it.

'Yeah, I got this heart condition...'

Ha classic!

[VNVgirl]

Thank you :) I like them very much!!!

[DeadYet]

what is the song in the background at the very beginning?

[IWNT2BLV]

That song is called "Thoughtforms" and you can find it on the "Gala" CD (initial full length release).

[DeadYet]

thankyou :)

[kool4ever]

[kool4ever]

I take them seriously, all my fav artists, I take them serious, I luv this band and all of the entire shoegazer genre, I will forever be a shoegazer.
