Good Shoes chat to I Like Music

RHYS: Reading was amazing. That was the biggest crowd we've ever played to. I guess on Saturday we'll be playing to a bigger crowd but no-one is really there to see us. It was the biggest crowd we've ever played to where people cared that it was us. It was brilliant weather that day, I went and saw Bloc Party from the side of the stage and all these other bands, and we were just walking round in T-Shirts with all our friends. We couldn't stick around that long because we had to drive off to Leeds for the next gig. That was amazing,

Ibiza Rocks was really nice, our day off there was really cool, just jumping off a rock into the sea for four hours after having the biggest party of our lives the night before. We were all a bit emotional so we were just like 'this is the greatest day ever!'

ILM: Rhys you are a genius wordsmith! Please can you describe the Good Shoes music making process? Lyrics or melodies first?

RHYS: I will always keep a diary of lyrics. Sometimes a melody will come into my head and there will be a line. Some new songs are like that. "All in my head" was like that. I was on holiday with an ex girlfriend in the Isle of Wight in the sea and it came into my head and I was like 'F**k, I've got to remember that!' So, sometimes that will happen, but most of the time we'll come up with music and I'll work over lyrics, make amendments to the structure of the song, so the lyrics fit or the chorus works better. But I think, with our new album, it is starting to change. Our music is less pop orientated, so maybe we'll lose all of our fan base! Hopefully it will translate across to people that are into it.
