yes, the swirlies, my local shoegaze band. boston is such a strange place for shoegaze though. they were incredibly inconsistent though, at times brilliant, and at times awful.
shoegaze was undoubtedly a british music, i feel mainly because the english have a grand tradition of pop music with experimental tendencies that started with the beatles, syd barret, etc.. up untill very recently there were never a whole lot of full on noise bands in england. i think im talking a load of shite here.
