Review of Ride with support from Slowdive at the Academy. At the time of uploading (summer 2016) both bands are selling out much bigger shows on the shoegaze revival circuit and in hindsight this line up is a bit of a classic in the making.


The review mentions that Ride's best known songs were greeted rapturously by a polite and surprising restrained audience. Typical Shoegazers.
