The Shine rehearse here

Bristol, England dream-pop outfit Secret Shine was formed in November 1990 by vocalist Jamie Gingell and ex-Panda Pops guitarist Scott Purnell; originally dubbed Amelia's Dream, the duo recorded a three-song demo which they mailed to the influential indie label Sarah Records, who agreed to issue a single, "After Years," in the autumn of 1991. Another single, "Unbearable," appeared almost simultaneously on the German imprint A Turntable Friend; by this time the group had rechristened itself Secret Shine, expanding to a quintet with the additions of bassist Paul Vowles, drummer Nick Dyte and Purnell's guitarist brother Dean. "Ephemeral" followed on Sarah in the spring of 1992, and after adding vocalist Kathryn Smith, Secret Shine issued the gorgeous "Loveblind," their lone single to crack the UK Indie Top 20. The band's long-awaited full-length effort Untouched finally surfaced in 1993; by the release of the follow-up, the Greater Than God EP, Dyte had assumed Vowles' bass duties, with Tim Morris(R.I.P.) tapped as the new drummer. After one last flexidisc release, "Each to the Other," Secret Shine disbanded -- Gingell and the Purnell brothers later reunited in the bands Collide and Loomer." - all music guide

Friday July 11th The Louisiana, Bristol 7.30pm £7.00 advance

The Secret Garden present a night of shoegazing introspection with The Flowers Of Hell (www. myspace. com/flowersofhell), Rumskib from Denmark (www. myspace. com/rumskib) and Presents For Sally playing their debut gig!(www. myspace. com/presentsforsally). Classic shoegaze DJ set from mePlusYOU.

The Flowers Of Hell
www. myspace. com/flowersofhell

This highly acclaimed Toronto/London based group create blissed out instrumental music reminiscent of the late Spacemen 3/early Spiritualized period. Described as "classical music for shoegazers" they combine swirling guitars and violins which envelop the listener totally. Their second LP "Come Hell Or High Water" is out later this year.

Rumskib
www. myspace. com/rumskib

This Danish duo are over on a mini tour of the UK so catch them while you can. They layer crystalline guitars, synthesisers and sugar sweet vocals for the perfect dreampop experience. Their blurred shoegaze sound can be compared to Lush and My Bloody Valentine at times with just a dash of Ulrich. Yum.

Presents For Sally
www. myspace. com/presentsforsally

As featured on Invada's "The Secret Garden" compilation. This is West country based PFS's debut gig and we're really excited. Their sound touches on the finest moments of Ride and Slowdive whilst pushing the limits of the genre. Dreamy, epic and emotional this first ever live appearance will be a special experience.

Too bad that you didn't arrange to come to Copenhagen as well, now that you were in Hamburg.

Remember next time.
Your poprevo friends all live there now by the way.
