After a seven-year intermission, My Bloody Valentine returned to the stage Wednesday night at a not-so-secret Dublin concert, since anyone could guess the identity of a band calling itself Isn\u2019t Anything. The band is set to perform under its own name on Saturday at the Fair City\u2019s 3Arena. It will be the group\u2019s first time headlining a gig in its hometown under its own name since 1992.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the band stuck to its noisy comfort zone, playing a set list that drew heavily from its three full-lengths, Isn\u2019t Anything <\/em>(1988), Loveless<\/em> (1991), and m b v <\/em>(2013). Fans hopeful for new material left unrewarded. The one surprise was a performance of \u201cOff Your Face,\u201d the doleful deep cut that closes the group\u2019s 1990 EP Glider <\/em>that the band supposedly had never previously played live. A photo of a set list circulating online<\/a> lists two m b v <\/em>songs that went unperformed: \u201cWho Sees You\u201d and \u201cWonder 2.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Video of the band playing Loveless\u2019 <\/em>\u201cSoon\u201d shows a typically psychedelic scene, as lights and sounds swirl around Kevin Shields\u2019 voice. Ditto \u201cCome in Alone.\u201d<\/a> (Perhaps the most notable thing is just how collected and quiet the audience is, waiting for the music.)<\/p>\n In 2017, Shields told Rolling Stone<\/a> <\/em>how special it was for him to create what he considered to be the perfect vinyl editions of Isn\u2019t Anything <\/em>and Loveless<\/em>. \u201cThe exciting part is that a lot of the guitars, hearing them just in the album opening, they\u2019re what I kind of thought they were when I was doing it,\u201d he said. \u201cThe sheer riffiness of that sound on the analog, without anything in the way, is quite special.\u201d<\/p>\n In the same interview, he also teased new music the group was working on at the time. \u201cThe m b v<\/em> album that we did in 2013 feels more meandery and not as concise,\u201d he said, comparing it to what he was writing at the time. \u201cThis one is like if somebody took that and dropped some acid on it or created a dimensional clash or something. It\u2019s more all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n Time will tell when the band starts playing new songs. The band has dates scheduled in the U.K. this year and Japan and Spain, for the Primavera Sound festival, next year.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
