Dublin, Ireland (1983 – 1997, 2007 – present)

My Bloody Valentine are a band formed in late 1983 in Dublin, Ireland. The band’s best known lineup is Kevin Shields (vocals, guitar), Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar), Debbie Googe (bass) and Colm O’Ciosoig (drums). Their 1988 album “Isn’t Anything” is generally regarded as one of the most influential records of the period, acting as an important precursor to the early 90s ‘shoegazing’ scene. In 1991, the band released their second full length album “Loveless”, later declared one of the finest albums of the 1990s. The band struggled to record a follow up album and split in 1997. The band reunited in 2007 and performed several concerts the following year.

The band’s key member is guitarist/singer/composer Kevin Shields, a reclusive perfectionist and radically inventive guitarist/engineer. The band’s other original member is drummer/studio maven Colm O’Ciosoig; during their heyday MBV also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe. Their band shares its name with a low-budget Canadian slasher film.

MBV influences include The Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, late-1970s Wire, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and independent artists such as the Pastels. Kevin Shields has also named The Beach Boys as a personal influence.

    her about me begins with not sure about anything... those are good words. then she follows them with but good music. then she finds herself on the my bloody valentine official mailbox. there's at least one inconsistency there.
