Blood Red Shoes - You Bring Me Down
Their last two London gigs have been a who's who of the past few years of indie, with members of Maxïmo Park, The Rakes, Kaiser Chiefs and The Long Blondes nodding along one night and half the music industry, including Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq, in attendance the next.
Subsequently, Maxïmo Park offered them the support slot at their massive show at Glasgow Academy, Drowned in Sound offered to release their next single via their digital singles club and offered them a tour with Metric, and somewhere along the line Panic! at the Disco caught wind of them - they'll support the Las Vegas-spawned emo megastars at Brixton Academy in October.
The band is BLOOD RED SHOES and they are from Brighton. They are two people: Laura-Mary (wishes she was Spanish) and Steven (wishes he was French). They play guitars and drums and they sing. It's not rare for them to play two gigs in a night. They've released three super-limited singles on bedroom labels so far, which are now completely sold out.
They release the Iain Gore (Babyshambles, Larrikin Love, Brakes, Les Incompetents) produced 'You Bring Me Down' in November via the Drowned in Sound Digital Singles Club. It's also available on limited 7" via Abeano Records, the label run by London indie super-club Frog.

Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
Kat Vipers: ilikemusic because... There's not many other things to like.
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Kai, Mystery Jets: ilikemusic because... Music makes me smile.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
Ciarran, The Feeling: ilikemusic because... I find it constantly inspiring and it’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play; it really is a huge part of my life.
Ryan, OneRepublic: ilikemusic because... It is the soundtrack to my life every day.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
