BLOOD RED SHOES MP3s

Too late to be an album review, so it’s now a gig review. A couple of weeks ago I went to Brighton to see Lovvers and Male Bonding. The gig took place at the hip hangout The Cowley Club. Seemed like the Brighton version of The Smell or something. I got the impression it’s like a secret club when there’s not a gig there, and they have a book section and they have food available...
I wanted to post about this band a year ago but couldn’t find any mp3s. Now thanks to our good friends over at Better Than Sex I have ‘Boytoy’, my favourite 100% Wool track. The Toronto two piece is Vivi on vocals/drums and Serge on vocals/bass, both combine to add keyboard parts. Together they make music that captures and reconstructs the sound of bands like Blood Red Shoes...

They were nice enough to record two video diaries which will give you a peek into the process. For more updates, check...
[Photo Credit: Tom Barnes] Myspace // "Scabs" [Audio] I’ve spent a lot of time going back and forth on these guys and I’ve finally come to the conclusion that they’re good, although I have to be in the right frame of mind for them. It’s stuff that I went wild for when I was 17, but every now and then, the right band like this comes along that I can get down...
