My Bloody Valentine’s Shields plans radical future
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 20 April 2009
My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields has spoken to the Dallas Observer about his plans for the future of the band, who are currently on tour in the US following their decision to reform in 2007. Speaking about what’s on the cards when the tour ends, Shields said: “After the end of August, we’ll have a radical change… line-up, we might expand a bit. In that respect, we’ll add another member to the group, just to do more stuff. And sound-wise, absolutely. You know, it’ll be…taking a different approach”.
Shields also spoke about the possibility of the band’s completing their latest album, which was begun, pre-reunion, and Chinese-Democracy-stylee, back in 1993. The group did not manage to get it finished during studio sessions earlier this year, but they are planning to have another go this summer, and may road test the tracks on their remaining tour dates. He added that the band are really enjoying the tour, saying: “The great thing is playing together, we’re just doing it the way we were planning to do it at the time, except with the right equipment and the right sounds”.
