The Review - MUSIC - grooves with CHARLOTTE CHAMBERS
Published: 5 June 2008
 
Grooves | Kevin Shields | My Bloody Valentine | The Roundhouse

IT'S the kind of thing that can happen to anyone.
You meet someone really famous, but have no idea who they are.
When I first started out a few years ago, I met Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine fame and was none the wiser.
I interviewed him about some row over a late licence for a new bar in Hampstead (where he lives), and he told me he was in a band.
“Oh, any I may have heard of?” I asked chirpily. “Nah, don’t think so,” came the notoriously ­publicity shy frontman’s reply.
If only I’d pushed a bit ­further, and given some thought to the fact that he resides in one of London’s most exclusive postcodes, I would have realised he was obviously a successful ­musician.
Later a music magazine picked up what I’d missed, laughing about the fact that a noisy old ­musician was ­complaining about noise.
Anyway, the grand old men of the “shoegazing” era are back, ­putting on what are bound to be riveting shows at the Roundhouse.
Expect little movement on stage but a lot of noise.
