Hello everyone! I have launched this website in it's inital format, I would love to recieve feedback from those who have had a chance to take a look around.
Right now, the main content of the archive is within Kevin's section of the Gear pages. Most guitars have been given a dedicated page, and most/all amps have been listed, as well as a start on pedals. Bilinda, Deb and Jen's pages have been started, but not as much progress has been done just yet. Within the live show chronology, so far, all shows from 1989-present day have been listed in order, with all 2018-present day shows given their own induvidual pages, with setlists documented + a few photos/concert poster/setlist (if found).
I have just completed translation of the May 2026 issue of Japan 'Guitar magazine' over on the facebook 'my bloody valentine gear group' fourm. These magazines (and contributors for proper translations) is vital for getting good information gear-wise from the band. I will be going through and updating the relevant sections with the information and pictures given in the latest issue.
For those who haven't seen, there is also a great 2021 issue of Guitar Magazine featuring a very in depth interview with Kevin too.
I will get the scans uploaded from both issues onto here once I can.
