My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine is an alternative rock band. The band is from Dublin, Ireland. It was formed in 1984. Those who founded this band include guitarist/singer Kevin Shields and drummer Colm O'Ciosoig. The lineup at one point included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe.

My Bloody Valentine's is known for its characteristic use of distortion, pitch bending, and digital reverb. After they made Loveless, My Bloody Valentine became quite dormant. In 2007, Shields announced that they were all back together and were recording new material.

Colm O'Ciosoig and Kevin Shields met in the late 1970s as teenagers in Dublin. They quickly became friends and joined a local punk rock band named The Complex. Toward the end of 1983, Shields and O'Ciosoig formed their own band with singer Dave Conway.

Conway, who went by the stage name Dave Stelfox, suggested names such as Burning Peacocks before they settled on My Bloody Valentine. The band was completed by Conway's girlfriend Tina, who played keyboards. The band then moved to Berlin, where they recorded the mini-LP This Is Your Bloody Valentine for Tycoon Records.

The record failed to have the expected impact, and, after four months, the band left Berlin, returning to Holland briefly before settling in London around the middle of 1985. After a period when My Bloody Valentine members lost contact with each other as they looked for places to stay, the band regrouped and decided to audition bass players.

The band lacked a regular bassist and Conway's girlfriend had decided to leave the band, not feeling confident in her abilities as a keyboard player. Impressed by what they heard, Fever agreed to release an EP. was released in December 1985.

The band soon began to play on the London gig circuit, but the record failed to make as much of an impact as the band had hoped. With the band's slow progress, Shields contemplated moving back to New York, where some of his family was living.

However, Joe Foster, an associate of Creation Records, had decided to set up his own label, Kaleidoscope Records, and persuaded the group to record for him.

The EP, The New Record by My Bloody Valentine, was the result, released in early 1986. The band also began to step up their live appearances, developing a small following and venturing outside London for gigs.

The band's next record was Sunny Sundae Smile, an EP released in February 1987 by Lazy Records, a label set up by The Primitives with their manager Wayne Morris. The label had been interested in My Bloody Valentine for a while, and the band turned to them this time due to Foster's indifference.

The band spent a few months performing in London and managed to secure a support slot with the Soup Dragons. During the shows with the Soup Dragons, Conway announced his decision to leave the band; he had been ill for a while and felt he was not reaching his potential with the band. Conway's departure left the band without a vocalist, a situation they decided to remedy by placing advertisements in the music press.

Under pressure from Lazy Records to produce an album, the band compromised, citing the need for time to stabilize their line-up. The band agreed to record an EP followed by a mini LP. The EP, Strawberry Wine, consisted of three tracks and was released in August 1987.

Ecstasy also suffered from production difficulties, as Shields described errors in mastering the recordings. These hardships were not surprising as the band were funding the studio time themselves; The deal with Lazy was that the label would do the promotion, the band paying for the recording.

In January 1988 My Bloody Valentine played a gig with Biff Bang Pow!, a band that featured Creation Records owner Alan McGee as a member. The performance convinced McGee that they were the British equivalent to American band H?sker D?, and he approached the band after the show. The band decided to record a single for the label.

My Bloody Valentine recorded five songs at a studio in Walthamstow in east London in less than a week. Released as the EP You Made Me Realise, the release was the band's first to be largely well-received by critics.

The group followed with the EP Feed Me with Your Kiss and the LP Isn't Anything (1988). The multi-layered guitar sound developed by My Bloody Valentine became a major influence on a number of new bands who the British music press grouped together under the shoegazing label.

Shields and McGee agreed to release an EP prior to the album's release, so the band recorded Glider, which was released in 1990. In May 1990 the band recorded a second EP, Tremolo (1991). The band halted work on the album in order to tour behind the release of Glider in Summer 1990.
