'Beautiful Noise' in San Francisco on Feb. 21st

Noise Pop 2015 Film Series
Beautiful Noise (San Francisco premiere)
Roxie Theater
Sat Feb 21 at 9:15PM / $12 // All Ages

There was no machismo, no rockstar posturing, and definitely no gyrating. Save for the occasional tiff they had with pretentious NME journalists, most of the band members were painfully soft-spoken. Geeky, even. Yet the voluminous, woozy sounds of Cocteau Twins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and My Bloody Valentine were anything but. For a few short years in the 80s and 90s, the indie music world was struck by a rare moment of introspection that came to an abrupt end with the laddism of Britpop. Diligently tracing the history of a genre that dares not speak its name (shoe-what?), filmmaker Eric Green interviews the mad minds behind the three bands, including the reclusive MBV frontman Kevin Shields. Amongst the support appearances are members from Ride, Slowdive, and Curve as well as keen fans Trent Reznor, Billy Corgan and Robert Smith – the last of whom got married to Cocteau Twin’s “Treasure”. – Sheffield Doc/Fest

'A Forest' #28 on les inRocks Top 100 list

From les inRocks: "Emblematic of the Gothic period The Cure (ranging from Seventeen Seconds to Pornography - dark top ) A Forest demonstrates the formal ambition of the group at that time. Part - mistress of a poorly -kind album and unloved at its output , the title is the quintessential sound of the group of Robert Smith : both tense and melodic , sinister and full of drive , lyrical and minimalist , it only reveals its true secrets that after repeated listening and necessary for the understanding of a universe far richer and complex than it seems."
