Damn, I would love to catch these guys again.



From BrooklenVegan:

The '90s shoegaze revival marches on. Swervedriver got back together in 2008 and now 2010 will see Chapterhouse tour America, including a May 3rd show at the Bell House in Brooklyn. Tickets just went on sale.

Chapterhouse's 1991 debut, Whirlpool (reissued in 2006), mixed swirly guitars and breathy vocals with a hefty dose of dance music (Madchester was peaking then) and the album's single "Pearl" was a big Modern Rock radio hit in America. It's hard to hear "Pearl" and not think it was a big influence on The Big Pink's "Dominoes." The band made a second album -- the more overtly dancey Blood Music -- in 1993 but went their separate ways not too long after that. Drummer Ashley Bates now plays in Tunng.

Chapterhouse play Japan in April before heading to America. The Bell House date is the only U.S. show announced so far but expect more cities soon.

I know a lot of dorks that are going to shit themselves, they were always the bottom of that barrel for me.

<---- total dork too


Man, I love Chapterhouse. Very underrated UK band and miles better than some of their contemporaries (Soup Dragons, Charlatans UK, Happy Mondays)

may 5 in chicago, for those interested.
