Am I getting older and slower or is the indie hype machine moving faster than ever? Even within a specific sub-genre, it's hard to keep up. I've always been a fan of the whole shoegazer/reverb-rock sound. I'm just catching up with Deerhunter and now here comes Fields getting buzzed about as the next second coming of Spacemen 3 or Swervedriver.
So if, like me, you need to play catch up on the band, what better way to do so then to check them out live when the Brits head over to this side of the pond in late April. (The middle dates here, from May 6 to 12, find the band opening for Blonde Redhead.) Here's where you can:
