Slowdive

Gimmel

I've recently purchased some music from the band Slowdive and fuckin loved it...

Any one else heard of them?

Any other CD's I should check out from them?

What genre are they?

Some of that strange boot watching music the kids are into nowadays. Last.fm page for Slowdive.

It's shoegaze.

Omnutia

Omnutia uses Referential Humor.
...
It's not very effective.

I much prefer to look at sandals myself.

Funfetus

Are they named after the Siouxsie song?

Gimmel

Yes,they are shoegaze.

No,they are not named after the Siouxsie song.

Gimmel was a troll or something blah blah but I might as well make some use out of this old useless thread.

I listened to Slowdive for the first time today, and I can honestly say that they're the only shoegaze band I've heard that I've ever been impressed with.

whatever

Slowdive are one of the best bands ever; everyone should listen to them. Better than the Beatles. Better than Led Zeppelin. Better than AIDS Wolf.

Sail

Better than AIDS Wolf? No way.
