Blood Red Shoes "get under each other's skin" in this new clip from their album Box Of Secrets.
"I've wanted to work with Laura-Mary and Steven for some time and knowing that they're constantly being asked if they're an 'item', I wanted to play with that relationship and replace the sexual tension with something darker and more sinister," says director Tim Mattia
The video is shot in black and white and is absolutely lovely...
The single will be released with 2 new b-sides on June 30th in the UK through V2 Records.

Maximo Park To Play At London's Forum For Charity
Maximo Park have teamed up with Blood Red Shoes, Pete and the Pirates and Mystery Jets for a very special gig at London's Forum in support of The Royal Marsden Hospital and the No Surrender Charitable Trust on May 28th.
After Maximo Park's good friend, Jason Boas, was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, the band took action and put together the gig.
“When someone you know is up against cancer it makes sense to give them your full support. Since that is currently the case, and that person is being treated at The Royal Marsden hospital, which was recently damaged by fire, we decided to do what we can as a band. What we do best is play concerts and we intend to give all profit from our gig at The Forum to help rebuild the cancer unit where they not only look after sufferers but continue to further our knowledge and treatment of the disease. We've never been a preachy band or asked people to shell out daft amounts for tickets, but this show will be well worth the entry fee for a number of reasons.”, says Paul Smith.
Tickets are priced at £20 and go on sale from 9am on April 9th and are available from:

Blood Red Shoes U.S News
Blood Red Shoes are coming to U.S shores quicker then we think. In a chat on Gigwise today, Steven confirmed that the band will be touring the States in March. Dates are TBA but its great news!
Also, check out the latest on their album release from the latest blog on their MySpace:
yup that's right. we're stuck in the cycle now....albums and tours...it's like being in a real band.....we're not just little brats anymore....we're "professional" little brats...
so we've finished the beast that is our debut album. 11 songs with some live classics you all know and love and some new material which we're really excited about. and no fucking love songs. it's some kinda monster. and it's pencilled for january 28th release tho you can hear the next single off it up on the myspace, and if you come to the tour we're currently on then keep yr eyes open for some little credit-card flyers - they've got details of how to access more album track downloads in advance.
so now the task is to take the songs around the world and wield them like weapons. we're feeling good after some wicked festival experiences (shout out to anyone at reading fest in particular), i got excited and bought a sampler, and laura-mary is getting more and more lairy with every gig (i caught her the other night jumping off the stage with her guitar, into the audience and rocking out with some massive hairy guy). i think she wants to be the female slash or something. and i just re-read the motley crue biography. so it's hotting up. our energy levels are increasing. our booze consumption is definitely increasing. and we're even eating more thai food, which we never realised was possible. in fact, we're on the road to becoming a superhuman rock machine. (so long as we remember to sleep now and again)
so in summary, album: good, touring: good, loudfuckingrockmusic: supergood. we're here for the black flag crown of 300 shows in a year and we're gonna fucking take it.....and there's still the USA, japan, and maybe even russia in the pipeline. so here's to being in a band. whatshischops from coldplay calls it "the best job in the world". we call it the best excuse not to get a job in the world. come and slack off with us.
laterzzz

Laura Mary from Blood Red Shoes Gets Attacked
Stupid bouncers. Stupid stupid bouncers. Laura Mary from Blood Red Shoes had a bit of an "altercation" with one in Manchester. Not a very nice way to treat the ladies!
Here is her side of the story:
"I left the backstage area carrying a bottle of wine to go and watch
Pull Tiger Tail. The next thing I knew a bouncer grabbed my neck from
behind and started to drag me out of the venue. When we got to the
stairs he tackled me in a Johnny Wilkinson way and I fell and hit my
head on the stairs and slashed my arm open. Luckily Charlie from the
Rumble Strips saw what was going on and jumped to my rescue by pulling
the bouncer off me. It was all a bit of a blur, there was blood
everywhere from my arm - it was pretty scary. I promised to make
Charlie an apple pie for being such a hero. Apparently it was all
because the bouncer thought I was underage."
The asshole has been sacked thank goodness...
