according to community at DiS and people attending their Glasgow concert, it seemed like Blood Red Shoes have split up, but everything seems to be all right for this moment, as for the Vienna concert they are on in May...
this is what some attendee wrote on the DiS board about the Glasgow concert: "laura mary said 'this might be our last ever gig' about half way through the set. then she said near the end that it was their 'last ever gig' as well. i was confused. it didn't sound like a joke, but maybe they've just got a very dry sense of humour that i don't get"
everything was cleared out by Steven Ansell who stated there this comment :
sorry to disappoint the unbelievers here but we've not split up.
anyone who knows us knows that we're the kind of people who are pretty straight talking, we say what we feel when we feel it. we've been on tour for what feels like an eternity, and that coupled with the volume of work we have to do alongside playing (we're still making all the decisions about every release, artwork, every live advert or single ad, laura still designs 100% of the artwork, i'm still mixing all the recordings, we book our own hotels, write our own bulletins and mailouts, do a LOT of interviews) - basically we have a lot on. we are stressed. and we are utterly losing our minds because that's coupled with the fact we spend 24 hours a day in each other pockets which isn't that healthy.
so what i'm saying is, that's how we felt by the end of friday. it's not how we felt in the morning. this was not a publicity stunt, or a joke, or anything of the sort, it was us being 100% open about how we felt. then the next day we felt a bit silly as we sorted our shit out (tho we're still losing the plot). we're genuinely sorry for confusing anyone. we have every intention of making a lot more music, starting with the new EP we're just finishing writing and want to release later in the year.
on another note, the level of sexist bullshit on this board really saddens me. i can handle criticism and the inevitable "oh they were shit anyways" lines, but we're not living in the fucking dark ages. stuff about being a "moody bitch" or "she needs a damn good (censored)" (i don't even want to imagine what was originally written) is way out of line and as human beings you should know better. seriously it's fucking disgusting and it doesn't just happen on here it's other sites too.
debut album Bright Like Neon Love from Cut Copy is mainly about shattered memories, shattered feelings and blue haze left from unlucky romances,.. sonically, it´s wonderful record full of strong melodies and colourful yet raw arrangements..
new album, In Ghost Colours, is like a bash where you start new romances without a purpose and without knowing your own identity.. if there was one song to pick from actual revival of 80´s disco sound, it would definetely be the song Hearts On Fire for me..is it sleazy or just perfect ? i´m solving this question everytime i listen to this song,..i somehow figured out that these two characteristcs aren´t so opposite when it comes to this album.. In Ghost Colours is certainly a grower, the midsection samples and interludes between songs play very important role, making the album kind of one "set", if i play the album as whole, it´s even better experience..
