Brighton-based duo Blood Red Shoes (Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell) have announced they will be making their first trip to Australian shores in 2012, playing two headline shows as well as at this year’s Pyramid Rock Festival at Phillip Island in Victoria and Peat’s Ridge Festival at Glenworth Valley in NSW. Blood Red Shoes released their third album, ‘In Time to Voices’, in July this year.
The new album was recorded at The Motor Museum in Liverpool with producer Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys/Foals/Tribes) who has partnered with them on the production side since their debut album Box of Secrets in 2008.
Their live show is certainly not to be missed, as Steven emphasizes that anything can happen when Blood Red Shoes goes on tour: “From getting arrested after spending a night drinking in a biker den, Laura fighting bouncers…twice, to the two of us breaking up onstage or having a giant fight in Prague and me getting found in the street robbed by two prostitutes. Oh and there was the time where we invitied to a hotel demolotion party in Paris where we broke into Keith Richard’s room and totalled it…”
Blood Red Shoes three-dimensional new sound encapsulates heavy rock as much as it does as sweeping, melancholy soundscapes and classic songwriting drawn from the likes of Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.
