Enchant Sydney’s Enmore Theatre with their Shoegaze mastery 09.08.2024 – Backseat Mafia

Ride take to the stage at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre tonight and the air is thick with anticipation. Pioneers of the shoegaze movement, the band first emerged from Oxford in 1988 and have since gone on to define the genre with a string of groundbreaking albums. Their latest release, ‘Interplay’, has received critical acclaim, a 9.2 rating and a spot on Backseat Mafia’s best albums of 2024 list, with the Guardian naming it their “the most mature album to date.”

As the lights dim and Ride steps into the spotlight, the excitement in the crowd is palpable – and from the first note, the band more than delivers. Faces around me light up in bliss as Ride expertly navigate their sonic history, proving not only their shoegaze roots but their relentless drive to push the boundaries of their sound, fusing the nostalgic with the avant-garde.
