Tickets for the UK acoustic shows which Ride will play next month to give a nod to their 30th anniversary have gone on sale.
From November 29th, there’s concerts in Brighton, Margate, Bristol, London and Manchester as the band continue a busy reunion which started with an announcement for the 2015 Primavera Sound festival and took in a brand new studio album entitled Weather Diaries last year.
“Given that it was smothered by grunge and then shattered by Britpop, it was always likely that the introverted, noise-for-noise sake Shoegaze movement would take a longer period than most to recover from near extinction,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“Eventually (inevitably) green shoots of recovery arrived – scene progenitors My Bloody Valentine blazing a fresh trail of tinnitus causing mayhem – but also resurrection came through the effervescence of a small but fiercely dedicated set of grass roots activists, many of whom weren’t even born when MBV’s definitive Loveless album was released in 1991.”
