I recently saw Blood Red Shoes in Cardiff at Clwb Ifor Bach. So here's a little review...First band up were She Set Sail, a local South Wales alternative rock band from Cardiff. The band comprises of Lee Smith (Bass), Jonny Payne (Guitar/Vocals), and Sam Vanttinen Newton (Drums). I was pretty impressed with these guys display, as it looked as if this was the first time they have played on such a stage, and they did well. With each song the band clearly grew in confidence, particuarly frontman Jonny Payne who seems a real talent. I think She Set Sail definatley have some potential, and the more gigs they play will only help to further this. She Set SailNext up from Nottingham were noisy punk rockers, Lovvers. The band features Shaun Hencher (vocals) who was previously in The Murder Of Rosa
Have you heard Blood Red Shoes yet? If not then this is your lucky day, as they are really beginning to make some noise overseas and I am betting it spreads here to the states in due time as well. The band is currently finishing up their debut album, but there have been a few songs that I have been really enjoying beforehand as well, including the excellent song, “You Bring Me Down.”
The news on the band right now is that they have just announced a load of tour dates, and a bunch of those dates are out in support of Maximo Park. The band will be releasing a new, as yet to be titled single, in October and release their debut album, co-produced with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys), in early 2008.
Check out this new remixed version of their tune, “It’s Getting Boring By The Sea”, mixed by Blamma Blamma.

No need to be stuck with boring white diamonds with blinding cut and clarity. Be cool and fashionable and color coordinate your diamond rings and other jewelry with your outfit of the day! Blue Nile has made this possible (even though its expensive) by throwing out diamonds in colors previously associated with gemstones only. Blood red diamonds? Why not just get a Pigeon's Blood Ruby that would be cheap in comparison? I see mention of yellow diamonds like that's something new, rare and unusual but isn't that what we've always called Canary diamonds? There's nothing like a real colored diamond, but if you want the look without the large investment, you can get CZ and sterling silver instead of 18k yellow gold or platinum and still be wearing styles from the stars! You can fake the celebrity look and nobody will be the wiser! Sabrina's Two Tone Canary and Diamond CZ Engagement Ring - Free Shipping!
The first full length from the Austin boys better known as Voxtrot is due out May 22nd, and it’s already causing a commotion. The band, who released no less than three EPs last year, mostly to blogger loving and gushing. The jury is still out on the full length, but I will say that I’m really enjoying this cut more than the one that has been circulating around so far. The song, Blood Red Blood, has all the elements that have people excited about this record, but with some crazy horns throughout the song as well. But, overall, Ramesh’s vocals soar and hit the mark here.

About an hour ago I went into the kitchen to check on my six year old who had finished most of his school work and was now doing what he really loved. ART. He absolutely loves drawing cars. This child knows more about cars than I ever will. He knows more makes and models and defnining features better than half of you do I am betting. We went for a walk several days ago and from 50 yards away he saw an old fashioned car. All I could see of it was that it was an old fashioned car. He saw enough, even from that distance, to perceive that this was a honey of a Studebaker. He went running and shouting, "A Studebaker!! A Studebaker!!"This all comes of watching Overhaulin' and Rides every week on TLC, two shows dedicated to the beauty and artistry of automobiles. It is a family passion now, though he leads the pack with regards to enthusiasm and knowledge. His idol is Chip Foose, to whom he recently sent his first piece of fan mail along with his own artistic depiction of a hotrod.
Blood Red Shoes bestehen aus Steven Ansell und Laura-Mary Carter. 2005 gründeten die Beiden ihre Band, nachdem sie ihre Vorgängerbands "Cat On Form" und "Lady Muck" verlassen hatten. Seit Ende 2004 hat das Duo sechs Singles veröffentlicht. Im April 2007 unterschrieb man bei V2 Records. Dort kamen am 11. Juni 2007 die Single "It's Getting Boring By The Sea" und am 29. Oktober die Single "I Wish I Was Someone Better" heraus. Im April 2008 wird das Album "Bos of Secrets" veröffentlicht werden. Schon im November des Vorjahres hatte die Platte auf mysteriösen Wegen das Licht der .torrent-Öffentlichkeit erblickt.
