KALAMASHOEGAZER

About Me

The 3rd annual KALAMASHOEGAZER fest in Kalamazoo, MI is scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd, 2009. The point and purpose of this event is to bring together friends, fans, and bands that are influenced by bands that came out of what was once called "The Scene that Celebrates it's self," or the shoegazing genre. Also those interested/influenced by C86, twee, and dream pop, late 80's early 90's underground, ambient and space rock, will want to take notice.
