Ride is our third Brit band this week. And by far the most influential. Their guitarist was in Oasis for god sake, between stints in Ride. It might be a Jedi mind trick but I think I can hear some Ride in Oasis now. Cited as one of the poster children for the “shoegaze” or “dream pop” movement of the early nineties. Kinda a psychedelic sound with a dreamy alternative spin. Remember The Ocean Blue or Lush? Their sound started with Ride. Not to sure how they’ll be on a big stage, but a late night aftershow (with tomorrow’s band?) at the Cobra would be good.
Observations, Musings, and Lessons Learned mostly in the world of Punk, Ska, Alternative, Metal, and just plain Rock and Roll. Music with guitars…mostly
