Fans of alternative rock, take note! The first East Asia Shoegaze Festival will be held at On Stage Livehouse in Shanghai on October 5.

Shoegase is a sub-genre of alternative rock that was founded in England in the late 80s and gets its name from the motionless and downward-looking performance style of its practitioners. Typified by significant use of guitar effects, and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blend into the creative noise of the guitars, the most well known shoegaze bands include My Bloody Valentine, The Horrors and Slow Dive.

The Shoegaze festival in Shanghai will feature performances by Xiamen noise-pop band The White Tulips, Beijing’s Skip Skip Ben Ben, Taiwanese rock chick group Fuguko, Korean post-rock band Vidulgi OoyoO, Shanghai band Forsaken Autumn, and Japanese act Oeil.
