Escape Velocity
Nu-gaze set inspired by the recent Seagaze Festival
I like to find new music by seeing which bands are active and playing live. In this case, I learned of a shoeqze festival near Seattle called Seagaze, which has been happening for a few years now.

This set is about 70% indie and underground shoegaze artists that performed at Seagaze, many from Seattle, but also from other places. I also threw in some old classics and other great stuff that wasn't part of Seagaze; but who knows? Someday maybe?
