Blood Red Shoes have announced their first UK dates in over a year, scheduled to take place in the latter half of April and early May with support from Australia’s excellent DZ Deathrays and Slaves as rotating support.
“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,” enthuses Steven Ansell of Blood Red Shoes. “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 ten cities.”
Blood Red Shoes will be touring in support of their new self-titled album, released on the 3rd March. The duo will also be releasing the first single from the record, entitled ‘An Animal’, on the same day. The single features ‘Wretch’ as the B-side, with Eion from Drenge on main vocals.
