So, I've been looking to dig up some post-punk stuff recently (along with shoegaze, but that's seperate kinda), and by name, I came across Warsaw (pre-Joy Division). I'm listening to the 1994 s/t album with bonus tracks of an unreleased EP included, and I really like it.

Never really heard Joy Division before, but this is nice.

Warsaw were more punk influenced than Joy Division came to sound, a lot of their very early stuff sounded a lot like Iggy and the Stooges (at least to me) when they first started. Their early stuff is still win, like They Walked in Line, The Kill, and especially Ice Age and Komakino.

Get the albums Substance and Still for good examples of earlier and later songs if you care to check them out.

wut?
Yeah, I really enjoyed that s/t of Warsaw's, so I'll prolly do that. I also went back and hit some french coldwave like Opera Multi Steel and Norma Loy.

Oh yeah, recently discovered Kitchens of Distinction (though they're more shoegaze than post-punk-ish, right?), too. Good find.

Yeah, they fell more into Shoegaze and even Dream Pop than definitive Post-Punk.
Oh, shoegaze and dreampop aren't entirely interchangeable? I had typically thought otherwise. What are the specific differences?

More often than not they go hand-in-hand when it comes to the mid-80's before Shoegaze defined itself as a genre, mostly with 4AD bands like the Cocteau Twins and Chameleons UK who used ethereal effects to create a relaxed but poppy atmosphere and shoegaze is more aggressive.

Shoegaze
Obv. My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Jesus & the Mary Chain vids here.
God damn ******** goths! This is like the fourth concert I can't go to because it's 21+. I really wanted to see Faith and the Muse and Reliquary. crying

Edit: On a side note Veil Veil Vanish finally released their first album a few days ago; so far it's pretty good.

No fake ID or friend who looks similar enough to you that you could use theirs? Or you could always just wear a ton of make-up or a wig or something like that and use someone elses ID which would probably work considering how outlandish a lot of people are at concerts, you'd probably get in no questions asked.

Most of my friends are 20, so that wont work. I might be able to get a fake; I just have no idea where I would get one. I completely forgot about trying to get a fake ID lol. I can probably go to the Voltaire concert too if I get one.

They're pretty cool, I'll have to listen to them more when I get a chance.
