Shoegazers Anonymous

First

of all.



Andy

Bell – former guitarist and singer in RIDE – said:



I did this show with Mark Gardener last

November when he passed through Stockholm,

and when I came onstage I said “Welcome to Shoegazers Anonymous, My name is

Andy Bell and I’m a shoegazer”. It felt good to admit it, because, basically,

it’s true. I will always carry the torch.



I

was at that gig in person and when I heard: “Welcome to Shoegazers Anonymous” -

I felt that it was both true and ironic. So that’s where I got the idea to start

this page. With all respect to Andy, I borrowed your quote to keep it alive.



 



If

you’re over thirty - then you can call yourself “a Shoegazer

from the time when it all begun” Even if it sounds pathetic.

Anyway, this is the site for us!



 



To

become a member there are no rules, but a first step should be to confess with

a comment starting: “My name is ***, and I am a Shoegazer”.
