My Bloody Valentine are an alternative rock band formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1984 and predominantly based in London. The founding members were guitarist/singer Kevin Shields and drummer Colm Ó CÃosóig. The band's lineup during their heyday also included singer-guitarist Bilinda Butcher and bassist Debbie Googe.
My Bloody Valentine's use of Distortion#Audio distortion|distortion, portamento|pitch bending, and digital reverberation|reverb placed them as part of the shoegazing genre among other bands like Ride (band)|Ride and Lush (band)|Lush. Their 1991 album ''Loveless (album)|Loveless'' took two years to make due to funding problems, but once released it was critically acclaimed. Following ''Loveless'', My Bloody Valentine became inactive, with Shields scrapping albums worth of follow-up material. In 2007, Shields announced that the band had reunited and was recording new material.

7. Saturday Night Fiber on 19 Jul 2008
Location: Avenida de Logroño, 28042 Madrid, Spain
Tenemos el placer de presentaros Saturday Night Fiber, un evento muy especial que tendrá lugar en Madrid el próximo 19 de julio en el Auditorio Juan Carlos I del Campo de las Naciones y que contará con una cuidada selección de artistas que también forman parte del cartel de FIB Heineken.
Saturday Night Fiber es el nombre que hemos elegido para esta fiesta urbana que nace para quedarse. La idea no es otra que la de diversificar geográficamente la oferta cultural y de ocio, de su Festival hermano, trayendo parte de la excelencia de su programación y producción a una ciudad como Madrid, así como el espíritu hedonista y festivo que ha hecho de FIB Heineken una referencia de ocio a nivel mundial y una de las principales atracciones culturales que tienen lugar en el continente europeo.
Durante varios años Maraworld ha estado buscando la localización ideal para desarrollar otro evento de similares características al que viene teniendo lugar en Benicàssim desde 1995, apostando definitivamente por Madrid como la mejor ubicación para organizar lo que supondrá un primer paso en esta dirección. Las completas e inmejorables instalaciones del Auditorio Juan Carlos I del Campo de las Naciones, con capacidad para 12.000 personas, son las que mejor se ajustan a los altos estándares de calidad que maneja el equipo de producción de Maraworld, y por lo tanto, las que alojarán esta primera edición de Saturday Night Fiber. Un primer paso, firme, de lo que en un futuro inmediato podría convertirse en un festival de más días, con un número notablemente mayor de conciertos, así como otras opciones de ocio diseñadas para poder interrelacionarse con la gran oferta de la que dispone una de las ciudades más divertidas y cosmopolitas de Europa.
Saturday Night Fiber es, a varios meses vista de su presentación en sociedad, una oferta ideal para pasar un fin de semana inolvidable en Madrid, disfrutando de bandas y artistas que han hecho historia como My Bloody Valentine y Siouxsie, emblemas generacionales como Babyshambles y Mika y grupos de porvenir como The Rumble Strips.
