NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Hi all. Last blogpost of the year today and it’s a few words about LA shoegaze quintet @modottiband.bsky.social’s seismic show at The Shacklewell Arms, London. Having these guys in the UK has been EVERYTHING…

Mo Dotti were truly wonderful at The Shacklewell Arms in Stoke Newington last night thank you for coming to the UK! @modottiband.bsky.social

Top shoegazery from the superb Mo Dotti @modottiband.bsky.social at the Shacklewell last night! Also good to see fellow ‘gazers @spectralheron.bsky.social, @toadsy.bsky.social & others there!

Oh man it has been SO good having @modottiband.bsky.social here in the UK. The band were on incredible form at The Shacklewell Arms, London tonight, truly one of THE best live bands out there doing it.

Cracking night at the Shacklewell Arms with LA noise pop/rock band @modottiband.bsky.social

What a joy to see @modottiband.bsky.social in London last night. Noisy, dreamy, catchy. Absolute perfection. #shoegaze #modotti

Fabulous penultimate gig of the year last night at the Shack for Mo Dotti - what a gorgeous swirling sound they made, all the feels 💜🎸. @modottiband.bsky.social

How many icons can you fit on @justdroppedin.bsky.social stage, well apparently this this many (if you count @pjharvey.bsky.social 😅)! @modottiband.bsky.social and CFB - We love you all 😍 2025 is now complete and I've unlocked 2026!

Back @justdroppedin.bsky.social tonight for one if the very best. The wonderful @modottiband.bsky.social were as magnificent as expected. Loser Smile to close and lovely to chat to Gina beforehand. Great night ❤️

A sensational night of beautiful noise @justdroppedin.bsky.social for the last @joesors.bsky.social night of the year. Brilliant performances from @modottiband.bsky.social (again!) & Cigarettes for Breakfast. May they both come back soon 🎶🎶🎶

Just look at them! We are so lucky to share this space. ✨️🔥 @modottiband.bsky.social at YES Manchester, go see them on their remaining UK dates...

What a glorious sound they make, without a doubt they put out one of my favourite recent records full of bangers. 🙏 @modottiband.bsky.social all the way from California, playing Yes Manchester.

Brilliant performance from @modottiband.bsky.social at Yes, Manchester tonight. Fantastic songs & very lovely people too. Really looking forward to seeing them again on Sunday. Great to see @parramaterial.bsky.social again as well. 😀👍🎶🎶🎶

Had the BEST time in Bristol catching my LA shoegaze faves @modottiband.bsky.social on the first night of their UK run. You NEED to see them when they hit your town, and bring your £££ because their merch game is STRONG ❤️‍🔥 Best people best jams.

A treat to see and hear LA’s @modottiband.bsky.social last night all the way over here in Amsterdam! Perfect set, loud and tight yet still swirling and fuzzy. 🖤

Hi all. It’s a huge deal to today publish my interview with @modottiband.bsky.social ahead of the LA shoegaze collective’s debut UK tour. Mo Dotti are my favourite band out there doing it right now, don’t miss this one…

2nd to last show of tour tonight we play in Olympia, Washington <3 ☔️

From a year ago: Wrote about records from Beeef, Mo Dotti, 40 Watt Sun, and Tanukichan:

September 23, 2025 - Mo Dotti @ Cafe Colonial This was my primary reason for going out. I enjoyed them quite a bit when I caught them in 2022, but never managed to work any of their other NorCal appearances into my calendar. Glad to finally have their earlier works in my music collection.

TWO NIGHTS LEFT of the epic #DreamgazePDX festival! Tickets are going quick, so go get yours at dreamgazepdx.com The 'always wonderful on short notice' @jeebz.bsky.social made us a flyer to show all the info for both the Friday & Saturday shows for those who missed last night's festival kickoff

Normalize seeing out of town bands on Monday nights. Thanks, Gina. @modottiband.bsky.social

Coral Grief is heading out on a west coast tour in honor of the release of their debut record “Air Between Us,” out July 18th! ABR is so excited to present the LA stop of their tour at Scribble on Thursday, July 31st with Mo Dotti and Cupid & Psyche! Get yr tix here: link.dice.fm/KxlLgHAuTUb?...

Spent a pretty penny getting @modottiband.bsky.social from the US, but well worth it!

Spotify is a horrible platform in so many ways. People should consider if they're ok using it. We use Tidal in the shop for streaming and are really happy with it. Some of the staff use Qobuz at home. Spotify sounds terrible and their ethics are disgusting.

New from the wonderful @modottiband.bsky.social ... 💜 mo-dotti.bandcamp.com/album/dissol...

Heading up to the PNW for the first time this year. Announcing full west coast tour dates soon <3

New poster for Coral Grief‘s upcoming Los Angeles show at Scribble alongside Mo Dotti and Cupid & Psyche!

Los Angeles! We are exactly two months away from MGRM10, featuring Mo Dotti, villagerrr, Wild Pink, and more! Have you grabbed your tickets yet? Buy tickets to both nights here: linktr.ee/MGRMagazine

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Nothing makes my brain sparkle like it youtu.be/42YGprrAOj0?... RIP SLY !ultimate pisces man ♥️
