Blood Red Shoes Announce April & May UK Tour

have announced plans for a full UK tour later this year.

The duo, who are gearing up to release their fourth album shortly, will be heading out on the road for nine shows this April and May. The dates will kick off in Nottingham on 22nd April, making stops at Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London along the way.

The band will be accompanied by DZ Deathrays and Slaves, with the band’s Steven Ansell making the following comments about the tour: “This tour comes nearly a year and a half since our last UK shows so it’ll be great to finally get back into it on home turf. The new album is full of songs that we’ve been aching to play live since we finished recording, so April can’t come around soon enough for us. We’ve also decided to ban bass players from the stage and hook up two of our favourite bands of the moment as our revolving supports - we’ve got DZ Deathrays and Slaves playing every night, so it’s a two-piece guitar and drums overload tour. Intensity in nine cities.”

They have also shared the video for new track ‘An Animal’. The video is a means of sticking ‘two fingers up at sexism’, according to drummer Steven Ansell. You’ll see what he means as the clip progresses. It’s essentially a nude-centric mugging incident, in which Laura-Mary plays a mugger and Steven plays a ‘jilted bride.’

It involves a bloke running through the streets celebrating his new naturist stance, and the whole thing is a response to ‘the current state of pop music videos.’
