Blood Red Shoes, Electric Ballroom 7.10.10
First time I've seen this Brighton duo. As with many modern bands, no front lighting meaning most of the time they are silouettes. Good guitar shoeglaze stuff, with You Bring Me Down a particular highlight. This was apparently their biggest headline show in the UK, meaning that they are probably more popular abroad. Still Brighton is a thriving scene currently with these, The Pipettes and Bat For Lashes all debuting around the same time a couple of years ago. Before the show I had a pint in Britpop associated pub the Good Mixer. Full of strange people who seem to struggle to believe that Camden is not the place it once was. I left quickly.
