My Bloody Valentine

In 2008, My Bloody Valentine was in the midst of a notable resurgence following a lengthy hiatus, having initially disbanded in 1997. The band's live performance at the Aragon in Chicago on September 27, 2008, occurred shortly after the release of their much-anticipated EP "m b v" in 2013, though they had not yet released any new material since their seminal album "Loveless" in 1991. This performance is particularly significant as it marked the band's first North American tour in over 15 years, and the loud noise segment that extended for about 20 minutes exemplified their signature shoegaze sound, characterized by dense layers of guitar distortion and dreamy vocals. The Aragon show was part of a larger effort to reconnect with fans and showcase their groundbreaking sound live again, solidifying their status in the alternative music scene.
